New Betta Broke Out In Whitespot....

[pcam86]

Hi, I bought a siamese fighter yesterday and today he's broken out in white spot and is now resting on top of my fluval filter. I've added an interpet white spot treatment this morning and i'm gradually turning the temp up to around 27 degree's, its now on 25.

Is it possible to add a small dose of salt to the tank while there is white spot treatment in there???

I dont think salt would cancel the effect of the meds, but I dunno if the betta could take all of it at one time.
Sorry if this didn't help at all,

i suppose i could add just a small dose like a teas spoonful as its a 60L tank.

Is it alone in that large tank?
I'd suyre hope so if you're treating it with meds..

 

[pcam86]

yeah he's alone!

I did a big water change yesterday added the carbon pad for a while before adding methylene blue.The treatment has been in there for nearly a day and the white spot is still just as bad as yesterday. I know these treatments take time but its always shown some improvement in the past! My fighter is still on the bottom!

I don't know what else to do now!!!

My current tank temp is 84 degrees, will it help if i raised it anymore???

Yeah, would help. It speeds up the life cycle of the parasite.
