Please help! White spots all over 2 tetras; what do I do?

[pokagon55]

it is recommended that three doses are given at 12 hour intervals. 1 teaspoon salt per gal. of water. Keep this in for two to four weeks with no water change.

Stick to the salt and heat. It has worked for me twice. DARN wal mart fish.

I thought I was to continue with regular water changes, simply replacing the removed salt in the new water that goes in...so the salt levels remain the same. Is there some reason I should not do water changes for so long? Thanks.

i would keep up the water changes and add the salt back in just like you were thinking you should.

I agree.

Here is a great article that Mgamer2000 suggested to me about treating with heat and salt. http://aquafacts.net/wiki/index.php/Ich It is really very helpful and has a fabulous explanation of how/why it shwos up in the first place. Once again, thansk Mgamger!

Hello! I cannot follow this think, and wish I had printed a hard copy. Do you happen to have another link, or can you attach a copy somehow?

(Guess what showed up in our isolation tank -- 24 hours before we were to move our new tetras -- again, tetras -- into our large aquarium? Three cheers for an isolation tank!!!)

TIA!
