All the time ive been spending with my 4WD I had forgotten about my fish besides feeding them.
Yesterday I was spraying the underbody of the car when for some reason I just looked over to one of the tanks and seen my severum swim up weird then drop to the bottom and lay flat, I thought WTF is going on here, I went over and seen he was coverd in White Spot real bad, I have never ever seen a fish with it so bad, not even in aquarium shops. Some of the other fish started to pick at his fins as well like he was already dead.
I started to stress real bad and drove as fast as I could to the pet store and got some treatment. I put it into the tank and turned up the heat abit and hoped that he would make it.

This morning I got up early to look in the tank and found him laying on his side. I was so angry with my self that I didnt get to him earlyer, so I grabbed the net and as I went to scoop him up he moved!!!! He was still clinging onto his life! And you know what? stupid me didnt turn the switch on for the heater correct! (switch is abit stuffed) The water was like ice whitch doesnt help at all! I grabbed the Red Devils heater (150watt) and a small heater I had stored away (30watt) so all up 3 heaters were warming up the water ( also changed there water again) through out the day when a fish would bite him he would swim away and at about 3pm he was sitting upright.
At the moment he still isnt in to good of a shape but I suppose standing up and being able to swim a short distance is better than how he was true.

Should I add salt as well?

I would pick a treatment and stick with as more than one may be too tough on the fish. If you do go with salt do not do anything drastic, aim more for helping breathing than killing the white spot.

PS moving this to fish 911 and hoping for the best man.

Is it definately whitespot that has got it? If you are spraying paint where the tanks are, I would keep an eye out for poisoning from the fumes also. Just a thought.

Yeah all 3 tanks got poisoned but there big dumb cichlids in the 2 other tanks and you wouldnt noticed if they were being poisoned, all they do is fight over who's log is who's lol but I changed the water just in case and there doing fine.

Bad news Cichlas, I lost the shark in the tank whitch had white spot in it. Had a look this morning and the little guy got stuck on the filter tube, I think he was sucking on it because his mouth was on it. He was turning out nice as well, oh well, better luck next time.

Sorry to hear that mate :sook:

You gonna get another one once the whitespot is cleared up?
