Hi, I'm currently dealing with a Red Fin Shark or also known as a Rainbow Shark, having a bad dose of White Spot, it looks like he's been rolled in coconut & I'm really quite scared as the White Spot came on very quickly. He literally was fine one night, no signs of white, & the next night he was riddled with it.
I immediately started treatment in the tank, though have lost my 2 Lemon Tetras due to the medicine. I have since done a water change & cleaned the tank ornaments; though have yet to clean the gravel as I didn't want to stress the fish out too much.
As the White Spot is quote severe, as in, all over his body, in his gills & his fins, including tail look like their bubbling, should I look to euthanizing the Fish or do you think he may have a chance of survival??
My 3 Silver Sharks are yet to have been infected severely, or at all, though if I take the Host Fish from the Tank, this may also help with their survival or contracting the disease.
Please let me know ASAP if you can as to what I should do! :confused:
