Posted	whitespot on flame angel
10-03-2006 15:18 by lydia	i have a flame angel with white spot. his appetite is still very good and he is not twitching or hiding but he has had it a week now and although i have treated it with cuprazin there does not seem to be any improvement has anyone got experience with this are freshwater dips really safe
10-03-2006 16:15 by Alan	Don't risk a freshwater dip it could make things worse I'm not that impressed with waterlife treatments to be honest if it is a reef tank I have had good results with oodinex made by esha. There is also an esha treatment that is good but is not reef safe. Before trying a different treatment I would suggest filtering over an absorbtion media such as carbon but a poly filter would be better but this isn't cheap but having said that neither is a flame angel. Make sure your water parameters are spot on to I have found marine fish more susceptible to whitespot if the ph is not stable or to low.
11-03-2006 20:18 by Jim Son	i dont understand marine fish getting white spot, salt is supposed to kill parasites! Whats going on Alan?
12-03-2006 09:24 by yanton	Jim, there are both freshwater and saltwater species of whitespot. so whether we keep marines or freshwater fish, we all have the problem.
12-03-2006 23:12 by garry	jim son ???give up fish keeping or leave the questions to those that can say a positive answer
13-03-2006 12:04 by Alan	Jim son stick to what you know if you only know freshwater stick with freshies and avoid marine comments unless you have something constructive to suggest.
13-03-2006 12:10 by Alan	Equally salt does not impact much on freshwater parasites any more they have become resistant to it at dosages that are safe with fish.
