Sorry!! for the delay... I dont get on here much anymore due to very busy lifestyle with young tot and going to uni this year so very busy normally.... I have to be honest and say that this forum doesnt seem to be very active. I try to keep up a little but it is hard being the only one of the mods that seems to visit anymore...

Yes, I think it can but I have never used it myself.. I have used a product called ichaid which worked well, but you have to be careful if you have catfish or loaches in your tanks as they can be very sensitive to meds. I had to use half dose. Everybody survived, no losses.

I think whitespot cant survive in higher temps so if you can increase your temp in your tank slowly by a couple of degrees that can help to stopping it from multiplying... also another natural solution can be cooking or rock salt (not table) at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 40 litres. (again be careful if you have catties or loaches)

It is probably way too late but hopefully info that you could use in the future.

good luck
