if u choose to go that with a fresh water dip make sure it is very short. about 2 min. make sure not to forget about him in there. my buddy did and his blue hippo tang died.

I agree. try using hypo salinity. or a quarintine tank would be the best way to go.

try asking in the diease forum, you may get more edugated answers on disease cures over their, fortunatly I havent had to battle many dieases so I am not really familiar with the best or most effective treatments for a lot of things, I do know freshwater dips are very stressfull for the fish.

reefkprz is right - you need to bring this to the disease forum for advice. The "cures" you have tried so far will be ineffective since it sounds like your fish has a bacterial infection, and neither hypo nor freshwater dips will help. When you post, save time by giving all of your water parameters - amm, nitrites, nitrates, temp, sg, alk.
