Cadinal Tetras White Spot

[davekelly]

my tank has cycled, ammonia 0 nititre 0 and nitrate is 0. 40l tank.

i just got 5 cardinal tetras yesterday to make friends with my 3 head tail lights and the cardinals have white spot.

i've read so many different things to treat it so thought i would run it past you lot who know the score.


Take my carbon filter out, 25% water change treat it from tomorrow for about a week while doing 25% water changes a day.(am i ok treat now even though it doesnt affect the ich as its still in the fish)
leave the temp at 24o as higher may stress the fish out, or am i best putting the temp up?


will my poor fish be ok, i feel sorry for them.

thanks

treat with ws3, as this is best for whitespot, raise temp to 28degrees

dont do water changes, during treatment, and make sure carbon is removed

You need to raise temp to 30.
As long as there plenty of aeration the fish should be fine.

What your tap nitrate reading.
Do you have any live plants.
