Hello I was hoping to ask you a question if you caught this.
I am treating for the first time ( 4 clown fish ) they have white spots ( but ) it also looks like what people show as brookenella.
Please note: It was suggested to use general cure ~ I also have on hand Melifex.
I started treating in a 5 gallon tank , checking daily water parameters. I’m concerned for ammonia rise due to 4 fish ( I have been removing about 15% daily ).
When I do this I add a small amount of the general cure for the amount I removed. I also dip the fish in a fresh water dip to clear their gills. As I’m prepping the water.
After 4 days they don’t look any better~ I see same if not more amount of white spots.
Any thoughts Should I keep going as I am with general cure?
Should I try a different ick medication such as Ick X ?
I purchased a 5 gallon new tank with bells and whistles to accommodate what is called a clinic tank by my son.
I don’t think I can use copper because it’s small and it will cost a lot more to buy a Hanna checker after the $60 small clinic tank. I’m hoping to have someone recommended to me an Ich medicine I can purchase around the $20 range.
Thank you for all your help , I have no fish people in my life to ask . So I appreciate any wisdom and knowledge.
thank you
