Been struggling to deal with White Spot on my Clown Loaches the last few days and sadly one has died from it. The remaining two seem to be recovering.

Hope the remaining ones recover Craig. It's a common problem with clown loaches
Seems to be a lot of whitespot been going round these past months. We've had it 3 or 4 times now . It blooming lies dormant in the gravel no matter how well it's cleaned. That's what I think it has been with ours anyway after the first outbreak that was clearly from an lfs
Novice - again: Such a shame Any idea what introduced W S to your tank?
Could be a number of things. Homebred live food, recently added Guppies, plants. Any idea what would be most likely?
As you say could have been anything, but might have been the guppies Craig
Sorry to hear that mate.

It could be the introduction of new fish but it might just be a case of stress for some reason and has broken out on them. Do they have places to hide? Anything pestering or stressing them? Are you in and out of the tank very often?
Yes they have a big jug to hide in.
Not aware of anything pestering them.
Only in and out of the tank for fortnightly water change. Don't even open top to feed them, just drop in through a back hatch.
Craig,
The important question that needs asked.
Did you stick your face right upto the tank front?

OOOH! MEEEOOOWWW!
Get her!! lol
Funny you should say that. Mum and dad were here last week and mum likes to stare at them all day. Might have freaked them out a bit.
LOL your poor mum Craig
She loves them but doesn't like when the Algae Eater hides. She likes to watch him sucking on the glass.
