- Some details and results from using love fish white spot and parasite fish treatment
This white spot treatment for fish is readily available in the UK. You can see the results in the video.
Check this out if you need help with ich (white spot) in your aquarium. Some information on speeding up treatment and what actually is white spot
Your video was amazing thank you so much. Beautiful tank. Just a quick one could you cover the danger of using this product. The ingredients are cancerous so please use gloves and be careful with spills.
I’ve pinned your comment, gloves is a very good idea
Great video. Straight to the point at the beginning for peeps who haven't got the time. Then a detailed (though not rambling) review for those who want more info. Loved it, thank you!
Thanks glad you liked the content !
Excellent informative video. My tank has had a bad outbreak of white spot in the past 7 days. I initially tried the heat and salt method and it was not working at all. I was worried about using chemicals because of my plants/shrimps and snails but your video explained the Love Fish White Spot treatment was fine to use with all three so I bought some from Pets At Home and the treatment is working well within 48 hours of me dosing the tank! Subbed!
Great video FishPie, nice to see content again. The tank is looking great. I too have a pair of german blue rams, fantastically colourful fish, together with the usual stock, fighter, angelfish, gouramis, rasbora and my new additions, dwarf neon rainbows. Look forward to more videos in 2020. Cheers
How are you angels getting on ? I’ve always had trouble keeping them ! I’ve got some more bits to review so some more content soon !
@@FishPieTV the angelfish (single one) is fine, doing his thing. Still a juvenile though growing fast. He hasn't bothered any of the fish other than the odd chase of the rams, but that's chiclids for you. He's left everyone else alone. We will see how he fairs when he gets bigger....
Thank you so much for this video! This brand is the one one available at my closest pet shop and wasn't sure if it was any good or if I would be better off venturing further away to a specialist fish store for an alternative but didn't really want to do that with the current situation so I am more confident getting this product. Thank you!
Also lovely tank and cat :D
Thanks for this , remember tho people read instructions as this can turn silicone blue as it happens mines black but be careful as when you first put it in and see a totally blue water it's a bit off putting but if you want to save your fish you have to take a leap of faith
When do I add the carbon filter back in and how long does it then take to remove the treatment? Thanks
I think my pleco bristlenose has it ive put lovefish whitespot and parasite in hes tank when can i feed him as i will be giving a second dose
I have a balloon ram with white spot and am going to get treatment. I have cherry shrimp snails and a kuhli loach in this tank. Will it be okay?
Thanks your video is awesome Only place I have found answers :) Been looking everywhere if I do a water change between doses, found the answer in the comments which is no :) my only other questions is the 4 days counted as dosed sat so next dose will be Tues or would it be wed? Then when would be best to do a water change? 50% on Sunday?
I’d take it as a re dose Wednesday and a water change on Sunday would be good
Love the tank. Great vid! Always use this stuff for my fish when quarantining them and treating them for suspected “white spot”. Sometimes it is white spot ether way it treats my fish!
Thanks ! Glad you like the tank
Using this stuff tomorrow with Interpet salt first aid at 0.9 percent. Let you all know how it goes. It’s my first time having whitespot and kept fish a long time. Can’t believe I got it from new fish☹️ I don’t have a quarantine tank, need to get one. Really good video 👍 did you remove your plants or where they fine?
The plants were all fine , hope it sorts it all out !
When you say remove the carbon does this also mean removing any filter floss ?
No filter floss is fine, but if you have any activated carbon remove it
Turns the water blue
I was recommended this by the staff at Pets At Home, not sure if this is the right treatment for my fish. My rams have sunken bellies and one of them stays in the top corner of the tank :/ it doesn't look like white spot but I feel maybe I should have got some anti-bacterial treatment instead? Or do you think this one will help? Thank you :)
Unless it’s something really obvious in a ram they are notorious hard to treat. The only thing I’ve ever managed to treat on them is white spot. If you don’t see the spots I’m not sure why they would recommend it. Can you go back and ask?
Gutted ' not realising last week that white spot was the reason to my Goldfish looking ill ' it was only 3 days back that I noticed the parasites on the black moor and on the same day purchased this remover but must have left it to late as only 2 out of my 6 fish have made it ' after 48 hrs the 2 fish surviving were moving around and look even better today with lesser spots on the fins etc will be doing my 2nd dose tomorrow , I can say it works just my delay in noticing ( gutted ) !
Did you do a water change before the Second dose? I need to dose again today, but wondering if I should do a water change first!
No don’t water change
@@FishPieTV great thanks, will dose tomorrow. Was worried about over dosing!
Hi there im now treating my tank the water goes blue when I mix the warm water do I put this straight into the rank with the fish thanks
Yes the blue is part of the treatment, it does fade over time
is it 100% necessary to have a heater? or can you treat it still without one? Also if it doesn’t cure it within the first 2 doses, can you do it again after a few days?
I don’t see why you can’t use it without a heater. I’ve used it twice now and not needed to have a second round. I believe you can if needed though
I know this is an older video and dont really expect a reply but i have 4 or 5 platys that keep flashing and rubbing on things but it only happens when they are going through the motions of mating and im just wondering am i able to use this product even if im not sure if they have white spot or not? Any help would be great
It should be pretty obvious if they have white spot, if you can’t see any on them they might be suffering from something else, or just flashing and showing off. Check your water parameters are all ok too
@@FishPieTV I had my water checked today at a local aquarium shop and everything is good they recommended the nt labs anti white spot and fungus. I'd agree was showing off with the flashing but it's quit often (wasn't sure if was a mating behaviour thing)
I’ve put this in my tank for a sudden outbreak of white spot, I have took the foam out and the Ciano filter they I had in, have I done the right thing?
You should leave the filter in and remove any pads that have carbon or any activated carbon you put in your filter if any
Can you put this straight into the tank without mixing it with water or do you need to mix it with water before you put it in?
Straight into the tank
Hi, at the back of the white spot treatment it says to treat for 4 days what do I do after the 4 days please
It’s a two dose treatment, one treatment, then 4 days later repeat, then you’re done
@@FishPieTV ok thank you very much for your help
Hi, nice video.quick question. I have an Aquael asap 700 filters. Do I need to remove the sponge-like filter and operate the filter without one? Or I can keep the sponge while on treatment?
Only if you have an activated carbon one, the rest you can keep in the filter
@@FishPieTV I'm not sure if this sponge filter is carbon. It's like a black colored one with holes. I am wondering because the filter is without sponge now and operating. But I'm worried about the ammonia and filtration, because the treatment will take about a week at least.
How long had the filter been in there? You definitely don’t want an ammonia spike that would be worse than the white spot
@@FishPieTV it's new like 6-days running.
Is the fish tank cycled ?
Does it stain your tank or ornaments?
I don’t really have anything fake apart from terracotta I’m the tank, but nothing was stained
Is this product safe to use with shrimp?
I have shrimp in my tank and they were ok
My carbon filter is suck (rack is jammed) so I left bubbler on and turned the filter off for a while. I’m also dosing one day earlier than the four days to make up for this so fingers crossed
Great video thanks, but Does the product cause the water to mist , if not what do you recommend ?
@@bramas1950 hi, I used the product. It’s not snail safe so you need to remove snails. It tints the water blue when you add it but it didn’t stick to any surfaces in my tank or dye my airline. It cleared up. I dosed with filter off but as I have carbon I left it and every other day micro dosed. My fish are all healthy now 👍🏻 worked fast.
@@MissGlassButterfly thanks for response but I put mine in tank yesterday the water went blue as expected but has left the water Misty, is this normal to go misty after approximately 20 hours ?
@@bramas1950 I didn’t notice mine get Misty but I wouldn’t panic. As long as you dosed correctly and if possible remove carbon from your filter (it neutralises the meds) then you should be ok. How Misty is it? Like a bit or a lot. When you re dose it in the 4 day time period you do a big water change anyway before treating again. And once the treatment is over so I’m sure long term your water won’t be bad. When I finished the treatment I did a change and added some more quick start. Hope it helps. Failing that I’d google stuff.
I think medicine changing water a bit isn’t strange :)
Does the blue colour disappear? And do I do a water change day 7 after 2nd dose? Thanks
Yes the blue does dissipate over time, and I did a water change after day 7, only like 15% as I used it in a 240 litre tank. You want to keep the fish as stable as possible as you treat white spot so it doesn’t come back
Thank you! I’m wanting to change my substrate, I was going to do this but now I’ve seen white spot on 2 of my new pentazona barbs, which aren’t orange like my others when I got them, maybe I should’ve known with the colour they’d be carrying something? Would I still be. Able to do this after 7 days of fish seem clear, I used first dose today, and can’t see any change yet :(
With tanks you want to do everything slowly, changing the substrate is a big deal for a fish to endure and you’ll likely go through a bit of a mini cycle, I’d give it more like 4 weeks before doing anything
@@FishPieTV thanks so much! Very. Helpful !
How would i measure out the right amount? i have that for my fish with white spots and 1 has died because of it so i’m not sure how to properly measure out for my 70litre tank. Would you say about half the outer cap will do or should i use more?
The little cap has the measuring marked out, with the substrate and water line you’ve probably got 50-60litres in there so you need to measure out 5-6ml on the cap
@@FishPieTV Thank you, hopefully this will save my fish
I wish you all the best with it 🤞
@@FishPieTV Hi mate, this seems to be working but i just wanted to double check. How long should i wait before adding the second dose of treatment?
It says on the back of the bottle, unfortunately I haven’t got one to check
How did it all go?
All the symptoms went and the fish are still doing well today so can’t fault it 👍
Could anyone tell me how to remove this medication from my aquarium?
Add activated carbon to your filter! Get some tights or a filter bag, pop some carbon in and drop that in the filter
Thanks for the response buddy. I appreciate it :)
Hello do you used this treatment daily?
Twice - Once every 4 days, make sure to read the instructions fully 👍
@@FishPieTV thank you.
