You bring the water down to 1.009 over 48 hours. Count three weeks from the last time that you see a spot. If you never see a spot then just hypo for three weeks. You will need a refractometer for this. Being that you have seen ich on them before, it would be a good idea to treat them before infecting the larger tank.
FW dips only remove some of the parasites.
ok well to me these definantly dont look like ich.. so should i try a fw dip first? if so how long should i wait to see if the spots are gone? do i just dump them in the fw or acclimate them to it?
i have a refractometer, and i would just have to transfer a couple of snails out to do hypo, but i havnt seen the ich on them since the first week i got them.. and its been many months that ive had them now, so do you think i should still do hypo?
