White Spot Advice Please

[GemGem86]

Hi everyone

I noticed this morning that two of my fish a red wag tail platy and one of my three tiny neons have white spot. I have put the treatment into the tank and it says I need to repeat again on day 4, so this would be Friday.

Thing is, this week I was planning to do a partial water change and Filter change (its BI-Orb 60litre) as the tank has got rather dirty over the weekend and I wanted to get everything out and clean it at the same time. Can I still do this before Friday or will I need to wait?

Thanks in advance

Gemma

What exactly do you mean by "filter change"? Is your tank cycled?

I have a Bi-Orb 60litre tank - every 4 weeks I do a 30% water change along with cleaning all the plants, pebbles and I put a new filter in.

Since I added the white spot solution they seem to have got worse - literally all of them (apart from my Gourami) are huddling round the heater rubbing each other or the actual heater. Is this normal? Is it a case that as the solution has gone in they will get worse before they get better? This is my first experience of white spot - I only had the solution in as I remember my dad saying it can come on at any point so best to keep some in.

Any advice greatly appreciated please.

Would really appreciate any advice on this...

If you water parameters are 0 Ammonia and 0 Nitrites, I am in day 13 of my battle with Ich and I am using Kordon Rid Ich +. Infected fish do try to scratch themselves against objects. After the Ich is gone normal maintenance should be 25-30% water change weekly.
