Clown Loach

[fraggs]

Hi everyone

I am after a bit of help. I brought 3 clown loaches yesterday and within a couple of hours of them being in my tank they got a bit if White spot. I have heard that you can turn the heater up a bit. Does this work??

Thanks

turn the heater up to around 30 this speeds up the life cycle of the bacteria and dose with meds

Ok mate thanks for the help. How long should I keep the heater at about 30? In till all the White spot has gone?

Thanks again

I would keep it up there for at least a week after the white spot has gone

Just remember to do a large water change and then daily water changes every day until the white spot has gone, that way you get rid of the parasite in its water borne stage

Run an air pump too.
