Does Epson salt alone really works for white spots?

Temperature alone works.

Alone... trophonts die beyond 27 degrees C. Short life cycle... adults already suck enough juice to proliferate... u can kill adult form nowadays with modern meds... only necessary for a careless keeper which by then icths already beyond 3rd gen with whole fish covered in spots.

Salt more for prophylactics... and used only when applying heat is stupid... like in farming scenario... heating a 10,000 ton pond on a rainy day more expensive than applying salt. Home scenario? Up temp finish... moderately careless keeper up temp higher speeding up icth life cycle fish be better chance survival becos less time inflicted more time recover.

You can get epsom salt from pharmacy, or even watson or guardian. I got mine from watson.

Good to know, thanks! Looks like we have another fish doc here!

Thankfully I have never has white spots on my fishes since last year but recently got some fungus problem....usually happens after the fishes got attacked real bad!
