Fishbitz Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi recently I had a bit of trouble with white spot and was wondering when is it ok to put new fish back into a system meaning when is it safe too I don't want to lose more fish I'm pretty sure it's all gone what's the best way to go about it ?

TheAquaHolic001 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Feeder fish over here is $2.50 for ten and if they live then your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Don't put feeders in, it's like hooking up at the infectious diseases party. Your just asking for trouble. White spot needs a host. So after a week or to after you have finished all treatments. And there are no signs of white spot or unexplained die offs, you might look at getting some new fish. Quarantine any new additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAquaHolic001 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah I agree with Lictoga, quarantine any new fish after the deaths stop then your good to go. Edited September 29, 2015 by TheAquaHolic001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delapool Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 From reading, the suggestion is a minimum of 10 days after last white spot seen. I'd say that would be at normal tropical temps to 30C used for heat treatment method. Guess you would have to allow more time for cold water (fish). Fastest I've ever done with no issues is stopping treatment 5 days after last spot seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Can you confirm nitrite is 0ppm? Adult yellows are very delicate too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
