Pretty much all my fish pale out horribly when I FW dip them.

I was think that this would happen when they get dipped. Was thinking it's like when we jump in ice cold water lol

Lol I made sure the temp was the same and had an air stone running before I put him in and added just a tad of furan 2 in the dip as I was treating the qt with it anyway

Because if he had ich I figured that it would relieve him and I listened to one of my buddies that bought the other cause he treats alot and also freshwater dips everything first

Ok but from what I learned is that the FD just ease it up for a little it don't kill it. So this is why I have never done it. I just start with copper first instead of prazi.

I go 3x a long as you..... then there were the few I forgot about. O.O Did you know a damsel can sometimes survive a 2 hour dip? Don't call PETA.

Sometimes I'm dipping fish every day, when I'm using live food.

What live food do you feed ? I would like too , I have a brine hatchery that sections to the tank and I have eggs and was thinking about putting it in my sump next to my return pump to feed the tank [emoji6]

Are you guys not familiar with Google? Not to sound like too much of a jerk but sheesh like you guys are coming here and talking about fresh water dipping a fish like it's some new thing that hasn't been done before or that hasn't been covered extensively by experts in the hobby? Does no one read anymore?
