white spot

[b.c.f.c]

this white spot is dong my head in.firstly i did a about a 40%water change then a 30% i think then a 20% all 4 days apart and each time adding less white spot cure after the water change.it seemed ok for about 4 days but ive noticed my shark flicking against the bog wood.my platies had it the worst but they now seem ok and are not flicking.so what ive done is a 30%water change about half an hour ago and upped my temp from 78f to 81f but should i put more med in or see how it goes for a couple a days?o and by the way i dont know what my water stats are but i will on sunday.

One last treatment to be sure it's gone may be the best bet. You should go ahead and do it,if you haven't already. I hope that clears it up once and for all for you

ive just added the med so hopefully it will be gone soon.

Which whitespot med are you using?

Here is a copy of a reply I just made to someone else about how I treated for whitespot

I used Interpet no. 6 on whitespot in my tanks recently. I had to repeat the course of the meds for 4 weeks before it went! You should keep re-dosing as per instructions on the bottle till no signs of spots are seen and then do at least one more dose for good measure.

No. 6 needs to be added every 3 days (or on day no. 4 as they put it), don't leave a gap, just keep adding it every 3 days but do a 25% water change before you add the dose each time. I know they only give instructions for 2 doses in there but you can just keep repeating the dose. Hang in there, you will beat it eventually

Hope this helps you

[b.c.f.c]

Don't usually rate interpet much but the whitespot treatment worked on my fish, good luck.
