Barracuda Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 My new clown loaches seems to have developed white spot, just days after I recently treated my rummynoses in a seperate tank. I am thinking now that the disease must be in the community tank somewhere - so I think I should treat the whole tank. I have turned up the temperature in the tank to 28 degrees. My only concern is that I have quite a lot of sensitive fish in there, including peppermint bns, sterbai corys, clown loaches, rummynoses, diamond tetras...(all juvies). I have Wardley Ickaway medication - anyone used it before? Is it safe to use in a community tank with my fish? Will a half dose be ok? Will this medication kill my bacteria in the filter? I also have Chemi-Pure in the filter (sort of like purigen). Should I remove this? Will this "die" if left out of water? Any other things you can recommend? Thanks in advance, any input or opinions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPM1976 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There all half dose for any catfish.I have used Waterlife Protozin and saved all my L numbers from white spot, so i highly recommend that.Medications usually kill good and bad bacteria, but when i used it on my fish, i had no problems afterwards.

Barracuda Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Will the chemipure remove the medication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPM1976 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yes you have to remove it cos it contains activated carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 If I remove the chemipure, and leave it in a container, will it be able to be used again once the treatment is completed? Does it have to be dried, or is it ok to be left moist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPM1976 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 How long have you been using the chemipure for? It only lasts about 4-6 months.So it should be ok to put back in afterwards as long as it hasn't been used for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
