Hi all,

I recently purchased two mono bass from a lfs, They looked fine at the shop but the second day they were in my established tank they both contracted white spot ( ICH ) I have raised the temp to 30 degrees celsius and added one tablespoon of salt per 20 litre of water they are in a 3x2x2 grow out tank I have two eheim 2217 filters running with one connected to a 18w Ultraviolet light,They are in there with a baby green terror and a pleco,the green terror is fine as is the pleco.Am I doing the right thing and if so how long before I see improvements,If not what else should I do.

Regards

Peter
 
You are on right track. Keep the treatment for 14 days. Usually the outbreak will worsen in the middle but should gradually diminish in the next few days.
 
Fingers crossed, these are my fish PBass and I have already fallen in love with them.
