I've treated my fish for them several times, each time it goes away and then I put my the carbon back in the filter. After a few weeks, the white cysts come back! One of my fish has died from this! I'm afraid that if they keep getting it, they might die too! How can I get rid of it for good???
 
White Spot - this is the most common parasitic ailment and probably the easiest to diagnose. The fish's body is covered with tiny white spots, which extend to cover the fins. The disease is of a cyclic nature, the parasite leaves the fish's body to form cysts on the aquarium floor, these hatch, and then swim to find a new host. This disease will affect the whole aquarium, so do not remove the affected fish, instead treat the whole aquarium with a treatment available from aquatic suppliers
