Using black mollies as canaries

[Steve1500]

In the fish disease forum I read about using the freshwater black molly QT method. I plan to use this method to QT some Lyretail Anthias but I don't know how to acclimate the mollies to the saltwater. Do I just toss them in the QT (salinity will be at 1.021) or do I slowly increase the salinity over time? If so, how long?

Anybody try this method on anthias?

Thats addressed in the article I provided. Basically - once you have the 'mollie' - it needs to be treated for any disease - and additionally once treated (since you cant really use it for a QT test again) - it needs to be kept in a different home (i.e. not thrown away)
