Do a 30% water change and turn your heater up to 28C, come tomorrow or maybe next day the white spots should of fell off the fish, thats when you start treatment

5teady your a star m8y thanx for the advice it wont kill my fish by tomoz will it lol only noticed the spots this mornin

No it shouldnt do, usually when people treat whitespot, they up the temp for 1-2 days before treating.



Good luck

Stress or bad water quality can cause whitespot, whats your water stats?

 

[chesterscot]

ammonia 0ppm nitrite 0ppm nitrate 6ppm this is ok isnt it? also what treatment do you recommend and do you think a tenner will cover the cost im only treating a 20g
