Hi,

Fish are doing well much better i have been doing regular water changes every 2 days and even got myself a liquid testing kit.....27 pounds

...hehe but i love it...feel like a real chemist now lol!!

...They are still slightly rubbing against plants but i put another treatment in last night so will cross my fingers..thers no white spots tho

Ive had to turn my water down a little bit as the mollies was badgering my female for sex....unknowingly the fantastic pets at home have sold me 2 males and just the one female

Ive also noticed my balloon molly is pregnant, well im sure she is anyway as i can see what i think is called the gravid spot and looks like lots of little eyes near the bottom of her tummy

./.....mind you im sure they will all be eaten or die as the water still has nitrites and nitrates in as it is still cycling

ive also found a fantastic aquatic shop just down the road that i didnt even know was there with marine fish and everything and they seem so much more knowledgeable.

Cant wait for mytank to cycle so i can add some more fish

Dont panic white spot is easy to treat.

Do your fish only have a few white spots, not badly covered in them.
If you catch it early I recommend slowly raising the temps to 28 - 29c today.
You will notice your fish swimming round faster than usual as the temps go up.
Nothing to worry about.

after 7 days of raised temps the white spot should be gone.

what fish do you have BTW?

Thanks for the advise, i read this thread as i had the same probs and the treatment wasn't working, i followed your advise and its all cured now....thanks
