   Hello Brian,
BR>firebellies, 2 Dempseys, 2 convicts, 2 plecos, 1 gourami, one fish
BR>from which I am not sure of its origin, and 2 algea eaters, are
BR>dying.  I got good prices on all of them from seperate spots.  THey
BR>are all young and I just got hit with the white spot disease.  ANy
BR>one out there who knows what that is and what to do, please tell me.
BR>I know what it is, and that it is uncurable.  I was just asking if
BR>anyone would have some suggestions.  My Gourami is not hit with the
BR>disease.  WHen they all die, am I supposed to clean out the whole
BR>tank?  I did last time.  Is there some kind of cure that wasn't
BR>available 2 years ago when I first had it happen?
                                             
   White Spot {also known as Ich or Oodinium} is curable. There are 
several treatments readily available from most tropical fish retailers. 
Over here in the U.K. some of the more commonly available remedies are 
Myxazin and Protozin made by a company called Waterlife and Anti-
whitespot made by Interpet. Just follow the instructions on the label 
and they do work, hope this is of some help,
                   Cya, Nigel
