Chevron tang in trouble
 

My fish have been fighting what i think is ich, the chevron was literally dying so I decided to do a hyposalinity treatment. Is it safe to just acclimate him to 1.009 and put him in? or does it have to be gradual...

i acclimated him for 3-4 hours and put him in NSW at 1.009 seeing is I have nothing to lose, he is clinging to life.

Gradual...

If he looks like he's a goner right now... be very gentle and do the drop slowly,(days...) otherwise.. he's for sure a goner. It will severly add to the stress IMHO. If you just did a drop from anywhere from 1.023-1.026, and put him in 1.009 after only acclimating for 3-4 hours, I doubt he'll make it. That's my opinion.

Good luck

ah, ya I decided to just treat iit as a freshwater dip, and he's back in the tank. I'm pretty sure he is beyond the point of no return anyways. :(

At least my Yellow tang is A OK.

crappy deal, its hard when you cant do a damb thing about it.

yup it sucks, he was a nice fish.

tang is hiding, all i can do is wait and see. I'm expecting to find his body tomorrow morning.

well hopefully you dont,..i hope to hear he makes it,

as much as people hate to admit it, when the fish looks like hes a goner its usually to late, very rarly, i find, when you notice somewhat bad ick its to late. SW fish are just very finicky and need to be healthy from the very bigining, but there are some fish that a very hard,clown fish for example.

yup, He's dead, was dead before I even went to bed :(

oh well, the rest of my guys are alright :)
