Hi there!
I need urgent advice. I spotted white spot on one of my clown loaches last week so bought Protozin and started treatment immediately. It requires treatment to be added to tank water on days 1, 2, 3 and 6. I am due to do the last treatment tomorrow (day 6) however I can't see any improvement, the white spot has got worse. My other clown loach now has it, and other fish are flicking themselves against rocks and hanging around at the bottom.
To be honest I'm a bit unsure about what I should be doing, I asked for advice when i bought the treatment but i was promptly told that it tells me what to do on the bottle!! Perhaps you may be able to shed some light!
Now it says on the bottle to remove carbon and zeolite filters. Only problem is I have no idea about what filters I have as it all came together with little information. I have what looks like 2 box filters at the top of the tank. In one is a block of black sponge and in the other are stones (I can only describe these as looking like giant polos only a beige/stone colour!).
Should I be removing one of these filters??
Also should I still be leaving the tank light on for 8 hours a day or leaving the light off?
If you could give me advice asap I would really appreciate it as I really don't want my fish to suffer any more than they have.
Many thanks.
