Posted this to the main forum... prob wrong forum, but I bought an otto last night which I noticed this morning has white spots. I have 2 dojo loaches. What is the best treatement for me to take??

It is suggested to use normal white spot treatment (unless there is one made especially for scaless fish, ask), but only use half the recommended dose. Good luck.

Try to find something like Ick Guard II, for scaleless fish.

ya cuz it can really hurt your little dojos. I have 2 dojos and sometimes its hard to find meds for em. make sure the med says it won't hurt scaleless fish. Old Salt's recomended stuff should work fine

I'm going with Rid Ick+, which says it is okay for "most" scaless fish. It mentions freshwater rays by name and says not to be used with them. So far I've made 3 doses, even using the "safe" stuff I'm using 1/2 recommended. Dojos and tetras = Okay thus far. The infected Otto has somewhat less ick, too.
