Fish can look abit grey and slimey with whitespot.
The med and high temp might be putting her off her food, give her a while to get used to it.
Have you increased aeration in the tank.

 

[chesterscot]

yeah i moved my filter up to agitate the water with the out flow

 

[WILDER]

You could try soaking some flakes in garlic juice to stimulate her appetite.

 

[chesterscot]

do what sorry lol

 

[WILDER]

Garlic juice you can soak tropical flakes in the garlic juice, it meant to stimulate appetite and boost there immune system.

 

[chesterscot]

i dont mean to sound simple which i probs do lol but how do you get jue from a garlic clove?

 

[WILDER]

You can buy garlic juice from supermarkets
To get the juice out use a garlic press

i have never heard of using garlic juice before, i am intrigued and feel the need to try it now

 

[WILDER]

Some debate though if it works on whitespot.
