I used R/O water; I buffered it with "Kent Marine Buffer" raising PH to 8.3, the same of my dispay tank. Then I heated water to 28 degrees Celsius, the same of my dispay tank and then I put in the water 21 drops of 1% Methylene Blue solution (composition for 100 ml: Methylene Blue FU 1 g. - other components idrossibenzoato 0,1 g. Depured water) This solution is made by "Marco Viti Farmaceutici Spa" (Italian Chemist Company). I aerated water before and during the dip.
Lee, I afraid that the problem is the damage the parasite has caused to the gill fillaments. Hyperplasia can set in and the gill lamellae grows to where the fish can no longer gain O2 due to flow restriction.
What coul I do to save it. Is there something to save it?
