Hypo has no effect on the parasite while they are attached to the fish. The natural life cycle of the parasite will result in them falling off the fish within a few days, or a week or so. After that point, the parasite will become vulnerable to hypo conditions. Using a precise salinity measurement instrument is essential.
Keep the fish in hypo for at least 3 wks after you no longer see the parasites on the fish.
