Hi, I've read what u wrote about Hyposalinity in the FAQ. But I wanted to make sure I have it right. Im pretty sure that 3 of the 4 fish in my tank have some kind of illness, either ich and/or heavy breathing. I want to the hyposalinity thing in my main tank. Am I leaving my fish in there while I do all this (lowering pH gradually)? I think ur post said to do that but then the next paragraph says:
"Your display will now have been fishless for at least four weeks, sufficient time to allow the parasite’s life cycle to be interrupted. ****** is an obligate parasite that requires a fish host. No fish=No host=No parasite. Ich is a fish-only parasite, it will not affect inverts."
Also, my spiny puffer is in very bad shape. He hasn't eatin in about 3 days and somethings eating him up. White spots, jacked up fins, ich, white spots, slow swimming etc. I dont think hell last much longer. Would you recommend a freshwater dip? And if so, how long do I leave him in it for?
Thx
