White spot has wiped out most my fish in both my tanks. :cry: It started in 1 tank and i'm guessing because i used same bucket, jug and syphon without washing properly, i've transferred it to other tank. :wb:
It's killed my tetras and i fear my plecs are next. :cry:
I started treatment as soon as.
Is it best to do a 10% water change before each treatment or just do as bottle says? :dk:

Thanks

hi, i am not an expert on this , however i caught is as soon as 2 fish had a very few spots on them, and was able to get rid of it . I used Mardel Quick-Cure , which has malachite green, not good for plecs, so I used 1/2 the recommened treatment each day and lots of vacuums--read up on the life cycle of ich and you will see why. No wc's while medicating, but depends on the meds i guess.

You may have to boil some things when this is over, and some you may need to toss out--i did after having columnaris, as it was not worth it to have another outbreak. Good luck and perhaps others can chime in to give more advice .
