rmj49 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi, Previously, 3 cardinal tetras had several white spots on them. I've been treating the entire tank with Paraguard, and gradually raising the temperature to 85.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It's been two weeks already, two of them cleared up, but the third one has only one single white spot just before the back fin. Should I continue treatment? Please advise. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Manifesto Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 If this is ICH, and it sounds a lot like it is, keep the temps up for at least 10 days after you see no more spots on the fish. those white spots are actually egg like cysts that fall off and then hatch in the substrate. And they take a few days to hatch once they fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
