About 2 Days ago i bought 2 new 3" Dats that were perfectly healthy and today i noticed one of them has some whitespot on it's fins and a few on it's body, it is flicking a little. So i have added a Course of KingBritish Anti-whitespot medication. And i have also Raised the tempreture to 30.c. It hasn't spread to any of the other tankmates. Will the white spot clear?
 
Heat and salt is a great cheap remedy. I personally think that coppersafe or anything with copper sulfate works the best with dats. I try not to use quick cure or malachite green because dats are fine scale fish. But thats just my opinion. About your treatment, I never heard of those products but depending on the ingredients it should work well with the temp increase. Good luck with that, post some pics when their all healed!
 
are the new tigers thin bars ?

i have found its alot harder to clear white spot from a thin bar

Yep they seem ok, they all had a load of Prawns earlier. and all seemed, ok, they have stopped filicking aswell, i also didn't add a few dose as i know they are fine scaled. And thanks for the help.
 
I always use heat/salt method. IMO it works alot better than any meds and is alot safer to use too ;)
