Default Bugs

Hi

I purchased some zoo's from lfs and have had them in my tank for about a month now and the past week or so i have noticed that they are shrivelling up. my par. are god ph 8.0 to 8.1, cal 450, mag 1300 and alk at 8, nitrates 0 and amonia 0 and phosphates 0. I a guy i know said that he purchased from the same lfs and his zoo's had bugs and he did a fresh water dip to get rid of them.....if this is right for how long should i dip them.

thanks

make sure you have bugs before you dip or medicate, use a magnifying glass or someone with good eyes :P

i would say 5-10 seconds with some swirling for a FW dip
