How do I do a freshwater dip I’m freaking out and I fell asleep I’ve been up all nightIf you can't get them in to QT, then a 5 minute freshwater dip will provide temporary relief. Do this as soon as possible. If possible, try to get your hands on some formalin. This is the best way to kill brook. Either way, do the freshwater dip ASAP.

His head is white like I know I saw it bc thier face is white and it’s ideally orange I know it doesn’t look like it I’ll try getting a better pic but how do I do a freshwater dip w/o like stuff do I need to just put my fish in frshwater or ? Is there a method this is my frost time S I’ve said before I did as much research as I could do.Are you sure it's brook? Does it look as though it's skin is sloughing off? Can you get a better picture, because from the one thats posted, the fish looks absolutely fine.

I made a new STERILE QT tank my medications come in a day and I’m scared they won’t make it please teach me how to do a frashwater dip w/o a air pump and sponge filter I’m broke and don’t have moneyDo yourself a favor, calm down. Worst thing to do is freak out and cause more harm then good. Have a read through the stickies in the disease section. Specifically this post about brook if your certain it is brook.

Brooklynella hostilis What You Need To Know: * This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s). * Treatment of choice is a 45 minute...www.reef2reef.com
Can you post clearer photos? Even a short video can help diagnose fish issues.I made a new STERILE QT tank my medications come in a day and I’m scared they won’t make it please teach me how to do a frashwater dip w/o a air pump and sponge filter I’m broke and don’t have money
I throw these on my QT's and they've been accurate so far.You don't need to cycle the QT tank. Dump in some bottled bacteria if you can, and monitor ammonia levels closely.
Actually, a dark cup works even better! Never use RODI for FW dips! That is one of those things that got entrenched in the hobby, but is simply wrong. RODI can have a pH of 4. You need to buffer it before use. I’ve done thousands of dips over 45 years and have never used RODI - always dechlorinated tap water.I do my Freshwater dips in my coffee mugs :X for nano fish.
If they have parasite it's also easy to see them fall off against the white of the mug lol.
It's not fancy, just use RODI water please. Not tap.
Also FWIW a large percentage of Clowns have lighter noses... Unless this happened overnight... i wouldn't be concerned.
