Ick, Slimecoat and Hyp.

[aquarius 1]

I'm running hypo. in my 75 gallon f/o with specific gravity @1.009. It's been at that level for 3 days now and I've noticed that my niger which was severely infested looks as if the spots are now peeling off like a slimecoat. It almost looks like a peeling sunburn but I've never seen this type of symptom on a fish before. Is this normal? Should I bet worried? I'll see if I can get a pic up later tonight.

Yes, get a pic up if you can. What are your water readings, most importantly what is the pH??? pH drops in hyposaline water, which means that, when you do hyposalinity treatment, you must test daily, and buffer accordingly.
