Clown Loach Whitespot

[Jamesham]

MY 2 CLOWN LOACHES HAVE GOT WHITESPOT. what med do you think is best, or what should i do. they were just recently moved into my 126 litre and seem to be doing ok. i hadn't noticed it before hand, can they get it through stress? the other fish list is in my sig, there are plecs so is a half dosage nessesary?

Waterlifes Protozin works great. ONLY USE HALF DOSE!!

as agreed with this statement, the reason being is that clowns dont have scales like normal fish and this makes them very sensitive to treatment but it can be done by halfing the dose thats recommended for your tank size, do this with every application and finally do one more half dose application to make sure that this has gone. and your clowns should be graet in 2 weeks, this half dose is also going to work on the other fish as well so dont worry about under medication.........white spot sometimes to do with stress? yes.

Missed the stress thing, yep clowns are almost inevitable to break out the whitespot when stressed.... Stability is key here
