![]() 12 Gallon should be fine for a small Jawfish. The first one died the same way but in my main tank, and there is defiantly not a problem with that.

You can use it to dip and to treat them daily. It dissipates over time and I only used it for the first two days and not at full strength. I ran carbon after the two days as well and did a water change on day four so don't think this was the case. I would like to know wonder if I can send him somewhere to have tested? I put him in the fridge for now.

Test never indicated a problem and No3 was at 5 ppm so I think the cycle was still there, but its hard to know what happens on a micro level. I an not a fan of medication to begin with, but was a bit paranoid after loosing the first one.
