make sure the water is the same temp and the same PH. I think it's 5 min min but I would go much longer than 7. I haven't done a FW dip, but it's my understanding that the fish will look close to death while in the FW.

Confirm but I think thats all there is to it.

I wonder if a longer period of hyposalanity might be better. :dunno:
