Platinums have whitespot

Post by Assaye on Mon Dec 14, 2009 11:36 pm

*sigh*

My platinums were doing so well. Really growing up. Unfortunately, I think the little quarantine tank just got too much for them and they developed whitespot, probably as a result of the stress of the small tank. I don't know why else they might have got it. Started treatment a couple of days ago but no improvement at all. In fact, a couple of them have nearly given up.

=(

I was hoping to add them to my community tank soon, but they've instead been moved in to the other 65 litre with the panchax (i've divided it) so they have a bit more space.

I hope I don't lose too many of them!

Yeah, turned up the heat and keeping the tank dark. Lost 4 of them now and I'm considering euthanising the others as I don't think they will recover.

That's £14 and some stunning fish gone =(

Silver lining? More space for female bettas, but I shouldn't think that.

Platinum tetras, sorry.
