Mine are really small, like 2.5cm haha i dont think that would fit :/
Also had an outbreak of white spot , only had them for 4 days
Been adding salt 1 teaspoon per gallon every 12 hours. Can anyone verify this info? I found it all in a sticky in the disease forum.
My temps at 27 celcius or 80 Fahrenheit.
Any other ideas of what i can do. Medicines?

kick up your heater to 86 to 87 degrees fahrenheit do a 50% water change and add an air stone get that water moving also according to my aquarium salt 1 rounded tablespoon per 5 gallons of tank water is the proper treatment salt dosnt dissipate in aquarium water so dont add more then the dose recommended it will eventually kill the fish after it builds up over time .
just break up the hikari pellets i do that with my smaller growout pbassQuick recap after lunch aus time. The five of them are in the smaller tank now for a month or so. I used a spare small canisster off the 180g they were in and water from the 180g to set up the small one. Left it running over with two feeder fish in there. Over a hour and half this morning i transfered the bass in to the small tank. So far they're loving it. All up there's 2 feeder fish same size as the bass, the five bass and a small convict that has no balls what so ever.
For lunch though i've managed to get four outof the five feeding on pelletscurrently their being fed NLS cichlid formula 1mm sinking pellets.
I really want to try get them onto hikari floating sticks and pellets but i think their still a bit too small.
Yea done all that wc, temp, salt and pump wise. How often should i add salt? after a water change?
Thanks
Thanks its been 3 days since they first started showing symptoms and the spots are slowly disappearing, they are less shy as well
