Anyone got any ideas on a possible misidentification of whitespot here
- it's certainly confusing me - sorry for the long background, but it's needed. Background On one of my tanks (120 litre) which is relatively peaceful my bronze cory developed a distinct white spot just above an eye two weeks ago, I started to treat with Waterlife Protozin and in fact thought I might lose the cory, as it effectively hid and was inactive for a few days. Since the tank has clown loaches in I halved the dosages as recommended but what I forgot was that the juwel has a carbon filter in it, so the medicine probably didn't work properly, as the cory still had the white spot the following week at the end of the treatment I then removed the carbon and repeated the treatment, cory still has whitespot, This week I've setup a 30 litre isolation tank and put in full dosage of the medicine for the cory, I also added a mollie which had got a bit beaten up last week and a platy, which looked like it had a small indistinct white spot on its tail last night, in the main tank I'm repeated the treatment for the third time at half dosage, just to make sure the water is clean and I am gradually increasing the temperature and adding some aquarium salt. HOWEVER, even thought the molly and platy in the isolation tank are starting to look a lot better, the blasted cory still has a distinctive white spot above his eye, which is leading me to believe that he may not have white spot but something else. He is a lot more lively that he was 10 days ago when this fist started. Other factors - the tanks is overfiltered (I added a fluval 3 plus) to the existing juwel filter but have got the flow bouncing again each other at the back of the tank,so while there's watermovement its not over the top, there are some plants and my two ottos and four small clowns all seem pretty happy (I'm also pretty good at water changes) Question Does anyone have any ideas, I'm off on holiday in two weeks and I would like to leave the fish in good condition.
