Question

they also said to raise the temp of the water to 86f is this information corect as i have only been keeping fish for a few months and i dont know much about this disease please help quickly

Answer 1

Inter pet Anti Fungus & Bacteria treats fungus, fin rot and mouth rot. Symptoms: Mouth & fins appear to be rotting away; white cotton wool like growths on fish



It does not treat ICH you need inter pet white spot or ICH treatment



It depends what fish you have as well as certain fish like clown loach cant tolerate the full dose and scale less fish need more careful dosage!



PLeccy white spot treatment from interpet does work and fast i have never had any diseases in my tanks but my local aquatic shop had an out break of ICH recently on there clown loach they said kids had been banging the tanks that had then stressed the clown loach and they got ICH the fish looked doomed to die 14 days of treatment and they are ok!

Answer 2

You were miss informed. First off raising the temp to 86 will only stress the fish further and really doesn't speed up the life cycle of the ich parasite enought to warrant the temperature change since it would take you a day to do that and more than likely the loss of fish.



Second antifungus will do NOTHING for ich just as antibiotics will not. Ich is a parasite and needs and antiparasitic to rid. You CANNOT treat for fungus and ich at the same time here. One or the other. Actually increasing the temperatures will hasen the fungus on your fish.



Get ich meds treat for a minimum of 7 days. Follow the directions no salt and no temp increases. Water changes as needed. this is more than likely the general cause of the fin rot as well. Once ich is treated check the fish. If you feel they have the fungus then treat. Remember to remove the carbon from the filter and return it to remove the meds when done treating.

Answer 3

Raising the water temperature speeds up the life cycle of this particular parasite (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), so that the free-swimming stage of the life cycle is reached as soon as possible. However increasing the temperature can cause further stress for the fish, as warmer water is less capable of holding dissolved oxygen.



I've never used an anti-fungal treatment to cure whitespot, and I doubt that it will have any effectiveness (unless someone can enlighten me). I would visit a good aquatic store and buy a disease-specific medication such as eSHA labs Exit or Waterlife Protozin. The entire tank must be treated to eradicate this disease.



If you need anymore advice then feel free to send me an e-mail.



To ♥life is great annaliates BYBS: I never said in any way that the Interpet whitespot treatment doesn't work (apologies if I am barking up the wrong tree), I have recommended two good quality medications that I have used in the past with good results.

Answer 4

i dont know specificaly about interpet antifungus by i know that 'waterlife' protozin treats whitespot & fungus so its possible that a fungus treatment treats whitespot. and i believe raising the temp does help.

search for the white spot (ich) cycle and got to your lfs to buy some treatment for it. if you have a spare tank separate the fish that are not showing the spots to the ones that are.

then prey you caught it earlie...
