Whitespot!

[welsh_jester]

hiya i have had fish in my tank for about a month and noticed 2 days ago 1 of my cardinals had loads of little white spots on him ( i have 8 cardinals) when i wke up this morning he was dead but there was no sign of it on any of my other fish i check about a hour ago and another 4 of them seem to have the start of it on their fins what do i do? i also have 2 guppys in the tank will they also get infected? do i need to take my cardinals out straight away? im aware i may need medicine but cant get any till monday is there any other way i could cure them without it affectingmy guppys also?

cheers andrew.

You need to treat the whole tank.
You need to get a med fast as whitespot can be a fast killer.
Once you get the med raise temp to 30.
Increase aeration as the med and high temp reduce 02 in the water.
Remove black carbon if you use it.
