Persistent Whitespot

[Marco84]

I have tried treating it with eSHa EXIT Anti whitespot treatment (stops all spot and velvet) for 5 days as the manual says and the right dosage... 2 days later my polkadot loaches are still coverd in it and rubbing on the gravel and I just noticed one of my cherry barbs rubbing on the gravel. What should I do now?

Is your tank warm enough for the species you are keeping in there? Cold water increases vulnerability to ich.

 

[Marco84]

My water is at 24C, that's the average all my fish like, can't put any higher as I have white cloud minnows and panda cories

You don't have to raise temp do you with esha exit.
Does it say when you can retreat in the instructions?

It says: Fish should show signs of improvement within 1-2 days. There are some exceptionally resistant species such as import spot which may need 2 or 3 more additional doses on the 4th and 5th day.
I've done it for 5 days and now 2 days later the loaches and still rubbing and flicking. It don't say about any more doses, should I add more?

Heard some members not having very good results with esha exit.

I would do a water change and run some black carbon.
I would buy anti whitespot med by interpet.

Never used the med so all I can do for you is leave this link.

Well there you go--- shows what I know about British fish meds!

 

[Marco84]

I've just bought some interpet number 6 anti white spot from ebay. I hope that will work

I used it once and it worked the anit whitespot med by interpet. But had to do two rounds.
Only had whitespot once and that was about 5 years ago.
