King British White Spot Control is an effective treatment for fish with external parasites including white spot (ich), trichodina and costia
White spot is one of the most common parasitic problems affecting fish
White spot is not visible to the naked eye in its swimming state or on the host of fish for the first 2 days. It grows rapidly & appears as small pinhead sized white spots on the body & fins. After 5-7 days the spots break up into smaller parasites & rapidly reinfect the fish
If left untreated, fish quickly become sluggish, their fins will disintergrate & the fish may die
For use in Tropical & Coldwater Aquariums
When To use White Spot Control
If fish appear to have small pinhead sized white spots on their body & fins
When fish flick or rub themselves against objects
When fish have rapid gill movement
If new fish are introduced to a tank as a preventative treatment against white spot & parasites
Care should be taken when diagnosing white spot, especially in clown loach fish which can show spots resulting from poor water quality. This may not be white spot.
