When you get new fish and put them in a Q tank is it possible to have the tank in hyposalinity when you add the fish? If you were to like accumulate the fish for a much longer peiod of time. Then if the fish has any trace of ich that you would be sure the fish is ich free when you add it to the main tank, I thought this was a good idea but would it be too big of a change for the fish to go from regular saline water to a lot lower salinity? I'm guess it would be too big of a change but just thought I'd get someone elses opinion.
