well the grade A forrest red turks and AFxSS are over 5" now and are only about 7 months or so i believe. the carnation turks are much smaller at around 4-4.5" i can't really tell. they are only about 5 months old. i need to setup my last tank that's in my backyard. it needs to be siliconed though.
Hey guys,
Would you recommend doing salt dips on regular bases to avoid the parasites?
Like once a week or only when visible problem?
Or would it be better to add salt to main tank?
thanks
is it safe to say salt dip might stunt a juvenile discus? since its:
I'm new to discus so i might have a few stupid questions.Quote:
they are too tough on the fish
not directly but indirectly. what i mean is that while the salt dip itself will not stunt a discus the aftermath of a salt dip can. if it goes off food and starts to hide and such then it will start getting stunted. like Eddie said, if it is not needed, do not do it.
Thanks for the info guys.
:confused:Why dip a discus at all in a very high level salt solution?
Since discus like salt (as a tonic at 1 teaspoon/gal; duration, indefinitely), and can use high temp (up to 90F) safely, won't this treatment over a few days kill all gill flukes or ick?
Are there other reasons to nearly kill a fish/strip them of slime?

Can I use those salt used for saltwater tanks? I found some extra stuff in my basement!
