I complete the cycle of white spot treatment on Monday.
I have now carried out a water change, using Tap Safe.
Two of my goldfish appear to be recovering well.
Unfortunately, another seems to have disappeared and the four I've only spotted once in the last few days.
I'll keep you posted.
All four fish are still swimming around. White spots reducing.
Continuing with treatment.
I'm devastated!
I came home from work, looked at my fish and saw white, raised spots all over them - right down to the end of their tails.
I knew it was white spot straight away.
They didn't have spots yesterday, but were rubbing themselves against each other and the pump.
I have treated the pond and will continue to do so every 48 hours for a week.
Cross everything that they make it.
The assistant at Pets At Home, in Axminster, was very helpful. I just hope I've caught it in tme.
White spot is caused by a tiny parasite and the end result could be horrific.
Please, God, don't let it come to that. I love my fish.
Send me your stories. Have your pond fish survived white spot?
My fish are very happy - thanks to my visit to Bow Aquatic Centre.
They love their new floating plants and weed.
My daughter and I enjoyed an afternoon at Bow. We marvelled at the huge koi and want to swap our miniscule pond for a lake!
Is green furry stuff normal in a pond? I'm treating the water fortnightly with extract of barley straw, but notice the algae is around the sides of the pond, at the bottom and on plants.
Will it kill my fish?
Water test fine.
No babies yet.
Fish growing.
