Posted	White Spot
02-06-2006 08:35 by SarahEW	Is it normal for fish with white spot to get black on their fins? All 4 of my fish are together in one tank now and just one has white spots on it, I am treating the tank every 48 hours with treatment but it doesn't seem to be going away and the edge of its tail fins look black!
02-06-2006 10:00 by Alan	What are you treating it with have you removed all absorbtion resins from the tank? Formalin malachite green and acriflavine are all effective.
02-06-2006 10:21 by SarahEW	It is King British white spot treatment, what do you mean by absorbtion resins?
02-06-2006 10:50 by Alan	zeolite carbon stuff like that. the King british remedy is called WSP I think I have used this before I think it is acriflavine judging by the colour off it when it hits the water it goes a sort of flourescent yellow.

More common when using dip treatments as the dosage is many times stronger than when treating a tank for prolonged periods. Normally goes away after treatment and regeneration of tissue around the affected area.
04-06-2006 16:51 by rahahar	hi everyone, could anyone help with advice on what to use to treat whitespot- i used some powder that has colored the water blue, they dont list ingredients, and half of the fish have died so far, the others wont eat and their fins are "disolving" -please help
06-06-2006 10:59 by Alan	Powder remedies tend to be things like potassium permanganate this is a dip only remedy change as much water as you can immediately and then change the same amount again. Use standard off the shelf remedies initially such as: WSP WS3 ESHA exit Sera costopur Its only when these fail that more potent means should be used and the ones above rarely fail.
