[mark7616]

i noticed i had white spot just starting out last sunday as i saw 2 spots on my clown loach so i did a 50% waterchange with the gravel vac turned temp up to 29c then treated with interpet anti white spot plus it got worse over that day a few more fish got it but then it was clearing up had just about gone then as i put the 2nd dose in on day 4 all the bloody spots had come back so what am i supposed to do now???

 

[WILDER]

Just carry on with the med, it take two courses sometimes to get rid of it, good luck.

The treatment im u sing you put the second dose in on the 4th day so 4 days after t hat should i do another water change and then put more treatment in also when i have got rid of it when i put my carbon back in do i do another water change as my water isnt looking to pretty

 

[WILDER]

Yes do a 30% water change then just start the course again, good luck.

hi mark
generaly speaking interpet anti whitespot plus is a good med for ICH
however there is a new strain of ICH that is resistant to most meds.
I'm confident that the second course you are doing will cure it this time.

if not try a copper based med, like cuprazin, but follow the instructions to the letter; copper id highly toxic to all life, or it could be a case of the cure is deadlier than the disease.

from my experiance if your fish can tolerate salt adding aquarium salt/a fish tonic salt to the water aswell as
the white spot medicen usally helps ich cannot tolerate any salt levels in the water good luck
