Hiya guys n gals. Am new to the forum.. I live in Newcastle, United Kingdom.
I've just started keeping fish - thought I'd start out with the basics and go for a simple setup: namely 2 goldfish.
One of the goldfish had whitespot as soon as he was in the tank. I don't know if this is because he had whitespot when I bought him and I didn't notice, or what, but either way he has it.
I've treated him per instructions with Waterlife's Protozin.. but it seems to have made no difference. Now the other goldfish is flicking and scraping and looks like he's in the early stages of having whitespot, too.
Should I treat them again on the weekly cycle* that the Protozin recommends, and keep treating them until the whitespot goes away, or am I right in just doing one weekly cycle* of the Protozin?
(*Protozin instructions: Use on days 1, 2, 3 & 6)
Thanks in advance
Duncan.
