anyone??!

first off dont add anymore salt! loaches dont like it, they are also sensitive to most meds

the temp needs to be 30C or above to kill it off, add an airstone if you have one or have the venturi on on your filter

ive never used meds when treating whitespot, but where abouts are you from so i can recommend something

what else is in the tank? what size?

what are you water stats like? ammonia, nitrite, ph and nitrate?

 

[cwaze]

I have a 200 litre tank

Also i have left is a plec, 2 angels, 5 tetre's, 1 molly 2 gourami's and 2 albino sharks.

ammonia -0.1
cl2 - 0.8
ph - 6.8
kh - 6.d
gh - 8.d
no2 - 0
no3 - 260

and im from the uk.

Your nitrate reading high
How often do you do a water change and gravel vac.
Whats your ammonia reading.

Water changes to remove the salt.
I would only half dose with loaches.

Is there plenty of aeration in the tank.
What the tank temp.

 

[cwaze]

I do a water change every week, the ammonia is 0.1 and ive already lost the loache's and my temp is 84/29

 

[WILDER]

Are you also preforming a gravel vac with the water change once a week.

 

[cwaze]

Yeah always.

 

[WILDER]

What your tap nitrate reading?

Remove ornaments give the substrate a good hoover.
Check filter sponges. If there really mucked up just rinse one of them in old tank water. Do the other sponge a few weeks later.

Plecs are massive waste producers.

I have done everything i cant test my tap water till i get some more this wk i just wanna know best course of action to take nxt ive had my tank a yr nothin like this has happened jusr rlly need help

 

[WILDER]

You need to improve water quality.

Some fish just don't handle parasite meds to well.
Whitespot can kill fish.

All you can do is a good gravel vac.
Water changes.
Increase aeration.
Just replace the correct amount of med back to water removed.
