White Spot &discus

[karlnina]

had a leak in our large discus tank so we put them in a 95 ltr tank until tank is repaired, now my discus all three have white spot, we have been doing daily water changes of 40-50% temp is 86 ph is 7, dont really want to medicate at this stage so added salt after water change yesterday, will i have to just keep adding salt after every water change?

they are only 3 inches long and they are on their own the filter is matured i had other fish in it for years, it was an emergency it had to be done or lose the discus

When fish are moved/stressed it tends to open them up for infection. Which is more than likely what's happen, I suggest treating for whitespot.
