[emmajt]

I have never had this before can someone please talk me through what to do... my goldfish all have white spots all over there water is uncycled as they are new, signs of only ammonia small amounts. Tropical tank is fully cycled perfect water and only the betta has three spots. Thanks

Sterilize equipment after use so you don't pass parasites, or diseases onto other tanks.


Raise your temps to 30.
Preform a gravel vac, and water change. On both tanks.
Remove black carbon from filter if you use it.
Add the correct amount of whitespot med to the tank.
Increase aeration. As the high temp, med, reduce 02 in the water.

Just noticed you have shrimp in your tank. They will have to be moved out of the tank.
As parasite meds can kill them.

As far as i am aware it is only copper based meds that are dangerous to shrimp. Read the ingredients, if there's no copper, they should be ok where they are.
