White Spot

[Mr Spoon]

Yesterday I noticed my rainbow fish itching and today they have lots of white spots, I've got a treatment called king British ws3. Do I need to dose half as much as they say because I have a royal Pleco in the tank or will he be fine with a full dose?

 

[WILDER]

Any copper ingredients.

Does it say in the instructions to half dose with sensitive fish,

 

[Mr Spoon]

Yes it does, are royal pleco's classed as sensitive

 

[WILDER]

Pleco can be sensitive to parasite meds.

I would just half dose the tank.

Hope they get better soon.
Good Luck.

 

[Mr Spoon]

Thank you Wilder, I've just put half dose in, It says to repeat every 48 hours until cleared up

My bottle of king british orginal formula ws3 says to dose "every 48 hours while symptoms persist and for 48 hours after all the spots have gone" Don't forget that last bit. There needs to be some medication in the water when every single parasite in the second stage splits open. I have loaches so I have to use half dose. I also add an extra dose, so my regime is every 48 hours while there are spots, then 48 hours after the spots disappear, then again 48 hours after that.
