Against white spot and velvet in freshwater fish, 3-day course of treatment

The eSHa EXIT white spot treatment cures white spot and velvet in freshwater fish. It acts on the parasite whether it is free-swimming or maturing under the mucus, which breaks the cycle from the very first day. The course lasts 3 days: a 20 ml bottle treats 1,000 litres, and a 180 ml bottle treats 9,000 litres.

White spot is the most common disease in a freshwater aquarium, and the easiest to recognise: small grains, like salt, on the fins and then the body. This treatment also works against velvet, the powdery golden film that covers the flanks. The 20 ml bottle treats 1,000 litres, and the 180 ml one treats 9,000.

🔎 White spot and its life cycle

The white spots you see on your fish are a parasite that has already settled in, sheltered under the mucus, where it grows for several days, all the faster when the water is warm. It eventually breaks through, drops to the bottom and encysts there, and the cyst releases several hundred free-swimming forms that search for a new host. This treatment course acts on both forms at once, the one that swims and the one that matures under the skin, which breaks the cycle from the very first day.

🔁 The 3-day course

For 100 litres, use 20 drops on the first day, then 10 drops on the second and 10 on the third; a 60-litre tank therefore receives 12 drops, then 6 and 6. As 20 drops make 1 ml, a large volume can also be dosed with a syringe. Before the first drop, remove the activated carbon, resins, UV and oxidisers, which absorb the product, and leave the filter running day and night. On the first day, do not feed; on the second, give half a ration, then return gradually to the usual ration over the following 3 days.

Everything you need to keep an eye on the tank during the treatment

A suction-cup thermometer and a water test kit come in useful during a treatment, because an outbreak of white spot often follows a temperature swing or poor water quality, which the treatment does not correct. The thermometer shows you whether the heater is holding its set temperature. The water test tells you whether ammonium or nitrite justify a partial water change before the first drop.

If there is no improvement after 3 days, look for another cause

Extending the treatment to 10 drops per 100 litres is only justified if your fish are doing better during the first 3 days, with no new spots. If nothing changes, the fish is probably suffering from something else: change half of the water, without any additive, then give this treatment with the broad-spectrum remedy, at full dose and for 3 days. Never overdose to compensate.

The formula contains neither copper nor formaldehyde, two substances that harm scaleless fish and invertebrates: your shrimp, snails and scaleless fish can stay in the tank, and the treatment can also be given to fry or to species with a reputation for being delicate, such as chocolate gouramis. A water change is generally not necessary either before or after; if you do one during the treatment, add back the portion of product that corresponds to the volume replaced. Finally, this treatment can be given together with the discus treatment without reducing either dose.

🐟 What looks like white spots

Not every white spot is this parasite. In the goldfish, the male carries small white tubercles during the breeding season, mainly on the head and pectoral fins, which are not a disease at all. In the clown loach, white spots can appear when the water quality is poor, and in that case it is the water that you need to correct. The parasite, by contrast, forms raised grains, more and more numerous from one day to the next, and your fish scratch themselves against surfaces. In an aquaponic system, the directions for use exclude animals intended for consumption: the affected fish is treated in a separate tank, and a 15-day quarantine for every new fish greatly limits the risk of introducing the parasite.

White spot or a skin infection: two different bottles

A parasite with a life cycle and a bacterial infection do not look the same. Look at what the skin is showing, and for how long.

A grain of salt is not a wound The parasite sits raised on the skin, whereas the infection eats into it. Three questions are enough to tell which of the two bottles to open.

Frequently asked questions

6 questions

6 key questions

Do I need to raise the water temperature?

How do I adjust the dose to my volume?

The rule is 20 drops per 100 litres on the first day, then 10 drops on each of the following 2 days.

Work out your water volume: length times width times water depth in centimetres, divided by 1,000.
Subtract about 10% if the tank is heavily decorated.
Scale the rule to your volume, and keep the same count for all 3 days.

A 180-litre tank needs 36 drops on the first day, then 18 on each of the next two.

The white grains are still there on the third day: is it a failure?

And my shrimp, snails and corydoras?

The formula contains neither copper nor formaldehyde, the two substances that cause problems for scaleless fish and invertebrates. It can also be given to fry and to species with a reputation for being delicate.

Even so, remove the activated carbon and the UV from the filter, and leave the pump running day and night: well-circulated water is better than still water during a course of treatment.

Can this treatment be used in an aquaponic system?

What should you do once the treatment is finished?
