White Spot Help!

[altselgreen]

Hi guys,

I have a black widow tetra that is in a 70 litre tank with 5 platies and he has white spot. I have only noticed this today and I only have 1 tank up and running. I really want to get him out of there, to prevent the spread to the other fish. (Since one of them is pregnant) Have you got any ideas on where he could go? I want to get him out of there asap, so any replies will be really helpful!

Thanks

Not sure what to do with regards to the alternative tank, but it may be interesting to see whether people advise you to treat the entire tank anyway. Just because it's just the tetra that you can see a white spot, this does not mean that it is the only one with it. I have always been lead to believe that by the time you can see white spot, it's actually fairly developed.

Let's hope you get some other replies before doing this though, as i am no whitespot expert.

This site tells about white spot and ich. I dont know how good it is because ive not read it. Hopefully it will be of some use though. Maybe a bacterial remedy would help since white spot is parasites.

Good Luck!
