A YouTube tutorial by Gerald Bassleer demonstrating diagnosis, treatment and prevention of ich (white spot disease) on a freshwater sole (Cynoglossus). The video shows visible white spots, microscopic observation of moving parasites, and gives step-by-step practical advice: isolate affected fish, raise tank temperature by a few °C to speed parasite lifecycle, treat with anti-ich medication (e.g., malachite green or Farnamore) for 7–14 days, siphon the substrate twice daily to remove detached adults, and use antibacterial drugs (e.g., Ferltadone or nitrofurazone) if secondary infections appear. The presenter also recommends feeding a proprietary supplement (Dr. Basleer Biofish Food Matrine) for 10–14 days to support immunity and recovery, and links to a more detailed tutorial (YouTube tutorial #6).

Questions this video answers

A minimum of 7 to 14 days (follow the product brochure).
