Help...crystal Shrimp - Whitespot In Tank

[Stephanie p]

Hiya,

I have got an outbreak of whitespot in my tank, is there a safe way of treating it which wont kill my Crystal shrimp and live plants?

Thanks for your help

try melafix or pimafix. they contain no copper, they're all natural, but quite good.. I forget which one the one for whitespot is. best find that out.

in my shrimp tank with fish if they have whitespot i just up the temp and start a regular water change regime seems to clear without meds
I dont like using malachite green anyway as it kills the benaficial filter bacteria so I hear
