I have also heard of fresh water dips. I have done it once or twice myself for ick problems. It works well if you are introducing a fish with minor parasite problems it really clears up a lot of problems. BUT you must use very clean water RO is best. only keep the fish in there for about five minutes and you must monitor the fish the whole time. if it goes into shock remove him immediatly you can not but a very sick fish in a fresh water dip either and if you have ick in your tank there is really nothing you can do you have to cure it in the tank because the next morning the fish will have ick again. you should repeat the treatment for 3 to 5 days. once every 24 hours. they
