I read about going down is okay but going up is troublesome because it causes dehydration. Is that why?
Yep you really can just drop them in to a lower salinity like that, doesn't seem to bother them. I don't really know why going up is more problematic, it's more of an immediate shock than just dehydration. I've seen it and it's bad.
