    Sheng, could you give out more information of your setup? We wouldn't want to tell you to get a certain product only to find out later that the rise in temperature could kill off other livestock such as shrimps and plants.


    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    I think you can take out your fishes and treat them in a smaller tank. Easier to maintain the temperature and less risk.

    The problem is my whole tank of cichlids (8 EarthEaters, 2 albino bristlenoses,4 Laetacara Fulvipinnis, 4 Acara, 4 Hypsophrys nicaraguensis,some tretas etc... ) are down with white spot. Too many fishes to remove and i dont have spare tank big enough to hold them.

    Anyway, last night, i have bought a Rena 300W heater from C328 for my tank & adding some salt.

    I have lost almost 2 batch of my EE's fries due to this incident.

    Hopefully, the rest of the fishes will recover soon.

    rena should be reliable enough.
    i think putting some methylene blue in addition to the increased temperature will be more effective.
    hope your fishes recover fast.
