what the best thing to do or buy against white spot and pop eye disease

Whitespot diseas can be treated with Interpet no6, whitespot, i use this and think its always done the job well in my tanks when i had whitespot.

Popeye i have never had so not familiar with it.

Is it safe to add treatment for white spot every say 3 months, just to keep it at bay

Protozin treatment Always works!!!!! The treatment is dosed over a number of days, but it is really good. Thats what we always use in the fish shop I work in, or if I have any problems in my home tanks.

You don't have to worry about whitespot except when introducing new fish usually. This is the primary place that it comes from. The fish are shipped in large numbers, in small containers, and so one little patch of whitespot can quickly spread... so dosing every 3 months to prevent it is pointless unless you are getting new fish and swapping fish every month or so. Once you have an established tank with no new editions and everything is healthy for a month or so, then you shouldn't have an outbreak of whitespot as there is no means of it to get into the tank... you would just be wasting time and money and possibly the health of the fish as some scaleless species can become seriously ill from alot of the medicines for whitespot
