Re: Tropical Fish

White Spot is a pain I had it in my tank years ago when we first set it up after talking to a friend of my mothers who breeds and keeps fish as a hobby he told us to gradually turn the tank up to 80+ degrees (I think we finally stopped at 86 degrees where it stayed for 10 days) and treated with aquarium salt. I've never had a problem with White Spot since but I know how devestating it can be to an aquarium
He told us the best treatment for the White Spot was heat as it can't survive in the high temperatures & he must have been right as we still have fish that survived that white spot outbreak, living in our tank now

Re: Tropical Fish

i think neon tetras are a good idea but they prefer being in groups of six as they are shoaling fish also make sure you wait aa while before adding your fish at least do water cycles i also reccomend that you really research your fish either online or through books before deciding to get them
