Interpet - No.6 Anti Whitespot

[spaandangle]

Hi all, I have just recently noticed changes in my fish. White spots on body and fins. I treated my tank with whitespot treatment on Thursday (3days ago), should i add another dose tomorrow Sunday (on 4th day) after i do a water change? Should i do a water change? How much? How often should i syphen gravel?

Should i treat in the following days 1, 4, 7,10, 13, and 16, and what dosage do i use for a 40l tank (i added 2.5ml on first dose)

I am so sorry for all the questions, but i am very new at taking care of fish, i go to the local fish shop and receive very conflicting information, which in turn has caused 6 fish to die. I have also done some research on the internet but yet again one says do this and the other says do that.....

I have a 40l tank
pump
filter
heater
plants

When i change the water, i syphen gravel and remove 20% of water.
Add new water treated with tetra AquaSafe.
Last water change i was also advised to add good bacteria cycle, which i did (should i continue this?)

Many Thanks for all the help!!!

Hi spaandangle

Welcome to the forum!

Don't worry about getting off to a rocky start with your fish. A surprising number of our members have been through the same thing. The advise you get from an lfs (local fish store) is not always the best.

I'm going to move your thread to the New to the Hobby section, where the members who post in there will help you make a good diagnosis of your fish's problem and help you get your tank cycled, if it isn't already done.

It would help if you told them some more questions about your tank. Have you been testing the water for Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate? If so, what were the results? What is the temperature of the water? What kind of fish do you have, and how many?

Thank you for your warm welcome!

I now have 3 goldfish and 1 dino.
I test the water ever week and my levels are

pH 6.5, N-2 0, N03 80, KH 240, GH 180 (i have very hard water in my area) test strip does not messure ammonia levels.

since i started treatment i set water temperature at 26C.

Many thanks again and all other help welcomed!!!!
