These fish have been in hypo for 22 days now. The clown fish now has visible ich as well. I even tested the water with a hydrometer to see if my refractometer was off. It's at 1.008. I read some other sites that said they have seen it last 28 days. I am happy the trigger is eating, the clown is eating, and I have not done any more dips. The trigger deosn't seem to want to swim after his food yet, so I am putting it right in front of him, and he's eating. Even though he's still covered, I think he's better since the dip. I soak his food overnight in zoe & zoecon.
I did not see them falling off in the bucket when I did the dip, but the bucket is white, so it may be that they were just difficult to see.
If I don't see a change after 28 days, I'll probably buy some Chloroquine Phosphate and try that treatment. I am reluctant to use anything that's a carcinogen, and all the ich stuff at the LFS has formalin which is a carcinogen. I don't want to have to wear gloves everytime I stick my hand in the tank or water.
I keep trying to compare the photos to see if there are changes I haven't noticed. Here's one from today, where he was actually swimming around again.
