aww peter im so sorry, im really hoping they wil be ok, thers not really a lot you can do just now

[peter22UK]

whats making me most annoyed is sushi is starting to flick of the ornaments!!! dont want him damaging his perfect complexion

Wip the temp up to 30c and increase aeration if you can, then treat the tank ASAP with IMO King Bristish White Spot Control http/www.thepet-shoponline.co.uk/king-br...ontrol-36-p.asp

 

[peter22UK]

i cant whip the temp up until i have the meds, or it will just multiply like crazy

i was considering cooling the tank a little to slow it down?

 

[WILDER]

I would leave the temp till you get the med.
Can that type of fish tolerate salt as I never kept them.

White Spot die at temp of 30c+, they carnt survive in water that warm!

I believe (and I could be wrong) that you can increase the temp to about 80, it wont multiply it, it will help, increase the oxygen into the tank as well, then as soon as you can, get the meds.

 

[peter22UK]

can my fish survive in that temp?

 

[shelaghfishface]

sushi will be fine, he may get tired tho, i had day day up to 82 by accident.. i would wait for the meds

 

[england]

as far as iam aware they all can tolorate salt<meaning his stock>
temp up should help the situation, get up early tomm and go to lfs for meds

 

[peter22UK]

i leave for work at 7am lol i dont even think pets at home is open then lol

 

[WILDER]

Can you get anyone else to go to the lfs and add the med for you while you are at work.
I always have two meds in stock, whitespot, and bacterial med just incase.
Even if you have to throw them away if they go out of date better to have them on hand.
