Have Ich/whitespot In My Tank On Atleast 2 Fish

[julsifer]

hi everyone the link for ich doesn't work so i wondered if people could help me.

I have discovered my BNT has white spot and one of my neon tetras has a couple, but the BNT has more. Can anyone tell me what to do before it spreads to everyone and how long i have to do it?

Am i right in thinking i should treat the whole tank?

Thankyou for reading

Hey I just had Ich and I used King British WS3 and turned the temp upto 28 to 30 degrees as the Ich only leaves the fish at high temp and once it leaves the fish the medicine does its job cos the Ich is in the water.

also you should treat the whole tank as its very contagious!

sorry i'm not that much help

sorry i'm not that much help

not at all thankyou for your fast reply do you have any idea as to how it starts?

this is my first fish disease encounter and its got me all shook up , yet i realise its not as serious as other fish ailments but still i hate to think of my fish suffering.

I imagine it to be as irritating as chicken pocks

That is exactly what i done.
Treated for approx 7 days (30degrees)with regular water changes.
Ich/whitespot disappeared in no time.
All fish looking normal now.
King British WS3 seems to work well.
