someone tole me that i could use interpet antifungus and finrot to treat white spot on..
Raising the water temperature speeds up the life cycle of this particular parasite (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), so that the free-swimming stage of the life cycle is reached as soon as possible. However increasing the temperature can cause further stress for the fish, as warmer water is less capable of holding dissolved oxygen.
I've never used an anti-fungal treatment to cure whitespot, and I doubt that it will have any effectiveness (unless someone can enlighten me). I would visit a good aquatic store and buy a disease-specific medication such as eSHA labs Exit or Waterlife Protozin. The entire tank must be treated to eradicate this disease.
If you need anymore advice then feel free to send me an e-mail.
To ♥life is great annaliates BYBS: I never said in any way that the Interpet whitespot treatment doesn't work (apologies if I am barking up the wrong tree), I have recommended two good quality medications that I have used in the past with good results.

i dont know specificaly about interpet antifungus by i know that 'waterlife' protozin treats whitespot & fungus so its possible that a fungus treatment treats whitespot. and i believe raising the temp does help.
search for the white spot (ich) cycle and got to your lfs to buy some treatment for it. if you have a spare tank separate the fish that are not showing the spots to the ones that are.
then prey you caught it earlie...

interpet is shite , get KingBritish white spot treatment this is what the large stores use. i would reccomend using aquarium salt with this. you want the water at 24 degrees celcious which is 75f not 86, turn it down . you will have it due to water condition. go to pets at home as and bring some of your aquarium water. if you clean your filter in tap water or feed daily without removing waste or do not use dechlorinator then you need to review fish keeping as your doing it wrong.
