HELP!!!!

If I’m not mistaken hyposaliniry is meant to be more of a long term preventative measure compared to a freshwater dip ?
Lowering salinity that much can be done but increasing should be done slowly and over time ?

it was in 1.015 salinity and now I raised it to 1.020

This is not hyposalinity but low salinity. Hyposalinity used for treatment of Protozoans is generally 1.009
I would not throw in copper or anything until your issue is clearly identified.

Just to be clear, a specific gravity of 1.015 does not cure ich, if that is the disease your fish have. It would help with controlling flukes, but the fish need to be held at that level for 21+ days.
