Quick question, how does a freshwater dip remove ich parasite off of fish? What does the freshwater do to the parasite? And would the white specks be gone instantly after the dip?
It will get few, if any ich parasites. The white spot is not the bug itself, but a protective coating that the bug secretes to protect itself. (from stuff like FW dips. Sooner or later, you're going to have to come to grips with fact that, if your fish have ich, they need hypo or copper. Neither is easy; but the only outcome of not doing it is dead fish.
