Cannot Shift White Spot No Matter What I Do! Help Please.

Seeing the spots today is not abnormal. Higher temps basically speed up the life cycle of the parasite so you will go a few days with no spots and then a few days with them and so on until you've eradicated the whole colony.

Thanks for the encoragement. Tbh I'm nearly at the end of my tether with this now. I've had  these tanks years now without major problems and now this and it won't shift. I love my tanks and it's annoying not being able to put this right.
 
How long should I keep the temp at 30? Is it safe to leave it that high for a while? I've increased the areation right up and am cleaning every single day.
 
The betta could stand it that high forever, but I'm not sure about neons. I would keep the temp up at least two or three weeks after the last sighting of spots. Once you've conquered this, you can move the neons to a bigger tank.

Thanks very much. Will keep it up like you said and when it's gone they'll be moved.
 
It's finally gone!!!!!!!! Waited a few days just to be sure and it's definitely gone now.
