White Spot infested after newbies intro

[oceanviper]

Hi there.

After couple of newbie intro to my tank....white spots infested the newbie including the entire tank members....

Did get some cleaner wrasse to help out, but my cleaner wrasse life span is too short.....MIA after few days...

But before MIA, does helps a bit.....

Now even cause some old birds MIA.....

Did a water change every 3 days with the amount of 10% NSW...

Any good recommendation?

Saw AM selling AquaPharm Cure Ich....not sure this will helps anot.....

Any reefers tried before?

Went through the recommended forum....yet many pros and cons....leads to 50% success rate......

Root caused was the newbie intro that missed out freshwater drip....

Please help...!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Any corals or Invert? possible to hypo the tank... Get UV sterilizer will help too but now it is not advisable to add any fish now..

If fishes are feeding and still swimming healthily no need to worry. Best is not to add any fishes for the next few weeks to let the fishes stabilise.

I'm currently facing another round of ich after stressing my fishes tremendously when I was modifying my tank. PBT's having v. bad bout of white spots. But still swimming happily and feeding ferociously. Just make sure to maintain water quality and monitor for deterioration signs. White spots have subsided quite alot over the last 2-3 days. But best is not to introduce new fishes in the next few weeks to let my fishes stabilise.

i would recommend like what the two helpful bro above mentioned.

1) Running UV does help for my case in reducing white spots.

2) Do not intro any fishes currently and do not dip your fishes into FW curretnly as it might stress them further.

continue to feed them as per norm.

if possible dont add any fishes for 1 month and do water changes religiously.

if no corals can lower your salinity to around 1.019 SLOWLY

this is what i can suggest and hope it helps bro.

all the best

Check your ammonia. Probably ammonia spike if you have been adding a lot of fish.

Bro try Waterlife Octozin. No side effects on the corals. First lower your sg level slowly till u reached 0.017 then add half a dose of Octozin for two or three days. This is followed by water change and a full dose of Octozin. Make sure u follow the instructions and calculation carefully to prevent overdose. Keep your sg level the same for about six weeks.

Hopefully this works for u cos it does for me and honestly I'm not a pro but just sharing my input cos I know how it feels to lose so many beautiful fishes.

Good luck.

Hi bro....

Currently my fish still feeding and swimming healthy....

I'll take note of not adding newbies.....

One question....will cleaner wrasse helps which I have all of them MIA after intro some time....

Thanks.

[onizukaa]

cleaner wrasse actually only helps minimal imo.

best of it is the fishes feeding and cure own it's own

I would suggest not to buy anymore cleaner wrasses. They do not ship well or adapt well to the home aquarium.

Since they are still feeding and swimming actively, I don't see any reason to panic.

The misconception is that cleaner wrasses eat white spots...the fact is that they don't. They get white spots themselves.

+1 (unfortunately i've used up my ammo for the day cannot add rep for you)

Great points brough in by Oniz..

Try not to stress out your fishes else the white spots would be worst..

try feeding them with garlic juice as well... it WILL NOT prevent ich but helps to improve the health of the fishes..

[onizukaa]

ty ray,just sharing what helped me and what i observe

[[V]tEc]

try doing water change everyday.....it works for me...

Hi bro...

Thanks for the advice......

Will do more frequent water changing and also temporary hold back on adding newbies (cleaner wrasse).

The fish still swimming and feeding well....so far....

Any coral? If no,share with u this foc method.

Up the temp in your tank. White spot cannot survive when temp is high. Slowly they will go away anyway your fishes is eating fine,they shouldn't be having big problem la.Dun worry.
