I read your artical about Ich, it has been very helpful.
Now, my display tank has ich problem, I notice some abnormal beheavier such as flashing, brushing the rock. I start the hyposalinity treatment, first I replace about 4/5 the tank with fresh water for about one hour, then I slowly bring the level to 1.009 to 1.010 as you suggested. It's been 3 days and all the fish look much happier, swim and eat mormal.
As your article, you suggest keep the 1.009 to 1.010 salinity for 14 days. But I remember some article suggest 28 days for complete cure. My tank temp are 79-83 F, can you tell me how many days I need to keep my tank in hyposalinity treatment for a complete cure of ich?
Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated!
