I'm to much of a punk when it comes to that

 

[Rickyb1982]

Lol got a purple tang today which looked like it could of had ich so I freshwater dipped him and now his whole color is faded

 

[Rickyb1982]

I was thinking maybe he just got stressed from the freshwater dip and hope he recovers

 

[Rickyb1982]

I know Bobby will chime in but think it's kinda of late right now lol

 

[Lionfish Lair]

How long did you dip him for?

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Let me hit the big homie for you if he's still up but I think that would happen cause the fresh water would stress him or her a little I would think. @Humblefish

 

[Rickyb1982]

I have his number just didn't want to wake him

 

[Rickyb1982]

And it's bothering me lol

 

[Rickyb1982]

I talked to him earlier but didn't tell him that he didn't look like that when I picked him/her up from the LFS

 

[Rickyb1982]

How long did you dip him for?

I dipped him for about 3 minutes

Always give the Doc all the info bro [emoji41]

 

[Rickyb1982]

Lol yea I wasn't thinking , was just kinda worried that would loose him

 

[Rickyb1982]

Was kind of a rush thing to get him home and start treating him

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Lol yea I wasn't thinking , was just kinda worried that would loose him

I can understand that. That's one of my fav tang I would go crazy if I lost mine.

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Why did you go with the dip first thing ?

 

[Rickyb1982]

I've been wanting one for a,while and got a pretty decent deal on it because 3 of them came in and one looked really bad so I bought him in hopes of saving his life

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

 

[Rickyb1982]

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

Hopefully thats all it is !! How long does it usually last ?
