Default Advice needed

Hi Guys,

All has been going fantastic with my new discus, however i have the early stages of white spot on two of them.

I have used protozin in the past, followed strict instructions and still half my fish died. I am really worried my discus will go the same way!!

Can anyone advise on a better product to use?? Or has anyone any experience of white spot treatment with discus???

i decided to go for interpet anti white spot because it says its fine with all fish except elephant nose and has a picture of a clown loach on the bottle.

The clown loach do not look happy though now i have dosed the tank.

I am really worried about whitespot treating! My heart is in my mouth.
