Hi
Today morning I noticed that some of my fish are having white spots on them. Tank is around 318 litres , no plants, internal filter 2000lph, air pump running 24hrs, white gravel, no heater. Last time when I changed water used anti chlorine, meth, sendha salt. Please guide me what to do ??
If I plan to buy a heater , what should be the wattage ?
Regards
Himanshu

if you will tell that what fish are you keeping then it will be helpful for both experts and you too.

Re: White Spots on Fish
Use 2 heaters of 150 watt each with thermostat. If you want to save some money, buy one ordinary and another with thermostat. Ordinary will be always on while another one will be off automatically when it touch the desired temperature.rahul_sood wrote:yes u need a heater now. its too cold at night.Ansh681 wrote:Hi
