Help please

Hi guys

I have a 6x2x2 aquarium

It seems to have developed ich as quite a few of the fish started to get white spot. I've been treating it now for well over a week and half and have turned the temp up. It doesn't seem to be working, in fact seems to be getting worse

My neons have now started getting funny bumps on them and one has a little white ball attached and the other has what looks like scars and eyes bulging.

At ideas on what I can do as you can see my tanks massive so costing a fortune in treatment because I have to use so much of the stuff

Anyone?

Do you have any carbon in your filtration as this can neutralise any treatment that you are putting in? What treatment are you using to treat the whitespot?

I took all the carbon out completely I think it was kingfisher? But could be wrong, I did then try another but seemed not to have worked either

Is there any way you could post a picture of one of the fish so we can have a look?

We used a combination of esha exit and esha fungus cure and that worked a treat for us if that's any help.

So do you think it's safe to use both ich and fungus treatments together?

The esha treatments are fine to mix together but some other treatment's you can't it all depends on what you are using to be honest.

if you can get a good picture of a fish that has the disease mate would help diagnose the problem mate

I'm trying to get pics but there not clear grrr it's inter pet ich treatment I've used and have got the fungus one two but not sure if I can use both together

Hi Mate, I use King British WS3 White Spot treatment, works for me add dose as directed and 30%more turn temperature uo to 80 degrees F, good luck

Cool thanks mate

Got home tonight tested the water that's all fine

But got two dead rams and four dead Molly's grrrr

good look pal white spot can be treated in the first stage but not the second, in a 6x2x2 your levels in the water should be fine.

use the treatment it worked for me, but you normaly have to do sevral tretments

good luck mate hope you dont loose any more fish

Seem to have rid the white spot but loosing fish left right and centre did a 75 water changer yesterday and again toda I have about 8 fish gasping or air at the top. The others seem fine I haven't a clue what to do or what's happening

are you still losing fish tom they might of caught secondary infection also have you tested your water parameters

ws3 can knock hell out of your filter bacteria
i would check your water peramiters check for
ammonia nitrite and nitrate also check your ph
hasn't crashed

If they're gasping at the surface after you turning up the heat you need to put some more aeration in there, higher temps don't let oxygen dissolve as well. If you don't have a lot of scaleless fish (ie catfish, loaches) you can turn up the temp and use salt to treat a lot of infections and try feeding foods infused with garlic which parasites don't like.
