yetti Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 My sharknose goby is now completely covered in white spots, which I suspect to be ich. Could anyone take a look and give their opinion? For treatment I´m planning hyposalinity for a few weeks with all my fish in a separate tank, in case it is ich. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yep. Hyposalinity, Cupramine, or chloroquine phosphate. Leave display fallow for ~72 days. Link to comment

RC1313 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 When I tried hypo (didn't work, probably did it wrong. I use cupramine now.), I think it was like 1 or 2 ppt a day. Don't quote me on that, I'll try to find the source Link to comment
GlassHouse Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 For a fish that small, I'd do tank transfers. Just need two heaters and two five gallon buckets. Link to comment

There are, unfortunately, also strains now that are not killed by copper, but those are much less common. Link to comment
