Can I FW dip a dragonnet?

[Shilpan Patel]

Hey guys I have a bullet sand sifting goby and a scooter blenny in quarantine. Is it safe to FW dip these fish for 5mins each in temperature matched water? I want to test them to see if they have any flukes (I don’t think they do from what I can see but better safe than sorry).

Also, are there any FISH that are unsafe to FW dip?

I think its safe. Lets take some expert opinion

FW dip is a good way to get rid of flukes, these fish are small and 5 min should be the max.
Just stay on them when you dip, extra stress is never a good thing.
Temps need to match but also your PH.


The only fish I know you can’t dip are Swedish fish they get rather sticky and they melt away.
