Andre Taf · 11/30/2010, 07:47 AM

I have just got shippment from Singapore and I placed my new fish in hypo.
In 80g tank I have 4 tangs(hepatus and lineatus)3",1 koran angel 3" and 2 heniochus.after 2 days in hypo my fish start sarachig and eyes are coverd with white staff.They dont have any white spots,so I think its fluks.
What shoould I do?

I would try a freshwater dip, followed by some PraziPro or a similar praziquantel medicine.

Can I use PraziPro with salinity 1.008?

Probably, but why is the salinity at that level? Do the fish have ich, too?

No,I just keep them like that,for 2 weeks for security.So you think its be OK to use Prazipro?

I'd get the SG back to normal. Hyposalinity is stressful for the fish, and adding medication on top of that might be an issue.
