Quote:
lowering the salinity is easier on the fish than raising it ,in an emergency you can drop the fish in a lower salinity and it would be fine, but the transition will be easier for the fish acclimation wise if the temp and salinity match the display and then drop the salinity by taking away saltwater and adding ro water. but as daniella stated raising it must be done slowly over time .

This guy had a major turn for the worse over night (I'm super sick from only getting 4 hours of sleep a night for the past 3 weeks, so I'm only getting up now). I don't think he's going to make it.
Lessons learned: -Bad stuff always happens when you are basically powerless to do something about it -treat bad stuff quickly -Always have a hospital tank on hand even if you have to leave it in the living room of your tiny apartment Not fun...

And the battle is over... I had him in the tank matching the the temp and salinity of the display and was bringing the salinity down slowly with a drip (would have taken 48 hours to get down to the right SG). He was having his ups and downs (was actually looking like he was perking up for a while). Left the room for a minute, came back and didn't even have to look at the tank to know... I guess he was too far gone. This sucks...
So in the past two weeks I had my friend die in a car accident, my friend's dad die from cancer and now my favourite fish. I'm sensing a theme here... Gonna go find my scotch!

Sorry to hear man, and sorry about your friend and friend's dad. That's a large burden to carry.
