Whitespot disease

MaxaRu · 04-05-2004, 02:06 PM

Hello everyone,

I hope I'm in right place. This is my first time here and I need help.
I have 30gal saltwater tank for 3 1/2 years already, but I can't add any new fish to my tank because of that whitespot disease ( I hope it is the one ).
Two days ago I got Flame Angelfish. I hoped it will get through, but today in the morning it was all over (fins, tale, body...) in those white spots or whatever it is.

While ago on another fish I tried frshwater baths, which worked untill I put that fish back in the tank. I guess problem in the water. So get "KICK-ICH", which is exactly for whitespots disease, but without copper ( I've read that whitespot disease is treated with copper-based madications).
Well, it didn't work.
So now I have a sick pal and I don't want to lose this one too...

Could anybody give me advise what to do ?! PLEASE ?!!!

Thank you very much!

Hi MaxaRu, Welcome to Reefland!

Here is a link to about 10 threads that have very good information in them about treating Cryptocaryon irritans. These threads contain information on treating and will give you some insight on the life cycle in order to prevent a return.
