![]() For a FW dip I used to do the following, try to match the temp of the water, use some SeaChem reef buffer to set the pH. The dip would last as long as possible before the fish started to show signs of stress and then the fish would go into a QT Tank... I learned my lesson the hard way about adding new fish to the aquarium.
If the fish is already in the aquarium and it gets sick a fish trap is a good way to catch the fish, just don't set it up in the AM and then come home and expect to find a happy content fish. As soon as it's trapped get it out and into the FW Dip and then the QT tank, lowering SG over a period of a few days is a great way to go. Maintaining a lower SG for a period of time and then very gradually increasing SG again to the tank level helps acclimate the fish slowly. Doug PS, either way, Ich sucks |
