I think some wrasses and the Copperband Butterfly fish don't do so well in hypo. @Humblefish @Big G do either have a list of fish that cannot tolerate hypo?

What was the starting salinity? You need to take a lot longer than 3 hours to drop most fish down into 1.009.

Well according to alot of people online, its ok to lower salinity in a short period of time but to increase salinity it must be done gradually. I was going off of that and thought itd be safe and dint look into ph :(
