hmm okey, so no salt at all? i cleaned the filter so now there is more circulation and i did a 40 % waterchange. can i use any medicine for white spot? or are tigrinums sensitive of some kinds of medicine?

Whitespots/itch normally due to low water temp,use heater and add salt bro...that will do.Btw..what other tankmates and filtration are you using?More info bout your tank and whats in it will help other bro's here give you more accurate advice

i have a heater in the tank already, the temperautre have always been 26-27 C ever since the tig got in there. But i mean, this does not really look like the White Spot disease... It looks different, like a "rash" or something....

Well it's a 96 Liter tank with only one datnioides polota as tankmate, and some tiny snails. im using a Resun B-700 l/h innerfilter. and feeding mostly hikari gold sinking pellets, sometimes shrimps. I'm doing watercanges once per week now, 30-40 %. before, i usually did water canges once every 2 weeks, and mabye 20-30 %, but i got worried when the tig got these spots...

Mabye the small and few watercanges was the problem?

this is how he looks now... what should i do :

salt or medicine !? you guys say different things!!

[Svampus]

well, now the temp is 30 C and i've done a WC and put som salt in there..

exactly, i think it looks like something else!

but as i said, i've put the temp on 30 C and i put in barely 1 dl salt / 100 liters.
now i'll just do some watercanges in the days and hope it gets better...

wat do u tink it is bro? if it is not white spot?

Since u have decided to go ahead with the salt treatment...then keep it up and see how it goes in the nxt couple of days.

BTW, how much is 1dl salt/100 litres??? 1% or 0.1%

i really dont know, but it's worse now. looks like som kind of fungal infection..






i talked to my LFS, he's very good at diseases and thing like that. He said that the only way, prbably, is to medicine for fungus/white spot/paraistes. He said that it could be a parasite... Is it dangerous for this catfish to put in medicine?

[Svampus]

I went to my LFS at bought a medicine for white spot, fungus infection and similar diseases. I'll keep you updated on how it's going..

i really dont want to lose this fish
