6. Tank size.4ft x 18 x 15
7. Finally Have you recently added any new fish?Yes some rummy noses and serpae but they looked ok
Hi guys, before I get shot I realise this has been asked hundreds of times, but I am still unsure of treatment.
I can see white spots all over my clown loaches. I have a 4ft x 18 x 15 well planted tank. With a fluval 3 filter and an external eheim filter.
I have read so much on treating ich, im completely confused. Please can someone help me ?
I have king british Ws3 (green colour) for treating them. It says to add about 21 drops for my tank size. But then says use less with silver sharks in....but most articles I read say its no good using lesser doses
Really I am asking.
1. Do I take all my plants out ?
2. Do I give max dose (every 2 days)
3. Do I do water changes in between ?
I have loaches, catfish, silver sharks, tetras and guppys mainly.
Sorry if im asking same old questions, but I have had the fish 4 months now and have got quite attached to them, hate seeing my little loaches like this
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have just found a rummy nose dead and a female guppy Rummy nose did have a mark on its head though. The guppy has been eaten but by what I dont know.
Also I have an emergency tank, all ready to go, but I cant catch the fish with my net, after 20 mins I gave up and tried again later, but I cant catch them. I could take all 18 plants out, but doesnt that stress them all and make a huge mess ? Please help !
