can you guys help me? Boogles has got white spot so i've put in some medicine which contains Malachite green, Methylene Blue and Acriflavine. I have only had boogles for two and a half days and the white lumps are all over its body. The medicine has been in the tank for a day and i've done a 25% water change today but not with a gravel cleaner. I have a gravel cleaner and will use it in the future. So what do i have to do to get rid of this disease? and how long does it usually last for?

Thanks guys and i hope Boogles pulls through.

I would read the medication to see for how long it suggests to medicate. I would do a week or two of medication, but Acriflavine and Malachite Green are both listed as ICH medications, so you should be on the right track.

Good luck.

Thanks. I just noticed today he is getting much better with most of the spots gone. I have been doing 50% water changes daily for a few days now with my syphon and he's looking good

Boogles died today. All the spots are gone but i guess the stress was too much for him.
