We have had good success with FW dip, but only in extreme cases.

If the fish dies from a FW dip, it was already too far gone before it already.

From my experience with FW dips, this is only really effective in parasites.

Like rats leaving a sinking ship, they drop/release because they want to survive.

A fish can survive around 20+ minutes in the FW dip, just keep an eye on them, looking for signs of stress (Darting, jumping, laying on side, heavy breathing)


Check on your QT water, is it from you DT? or do you do it fresh?

A product a lot on my customers like is Marc Weiss ImmunoVital. It really helps the fishes immune system, or from my experience at least. You can add this to your DT once a month also as a precationary measure.

Brookynella is completly different, a dip with Formalin is needed.
