Hi everyone,
My porcuppine puffer has ich and is in critical condition. This morning I found him laying on the sand with his body covered with a dusting of white spots and his one eye cloudede over. He was breathing heavily. I have moved him to a hospital tank and I am about to begin hyposalinity. I dont believe he has much of a chance of surviving. Based on the description of his symptoms is it too late to try to save him? I just read up on hypo and from what I learned you are supppose to gradually reduce the salinity over a 72 hour period to 1.09. However, the way the puffer looks I dont think he has 72 hours to live. I believe his condition requires a more extreme and immediate treatment. Can I reduce
the SG to 1.09 in a shorter time frame? Please help. Thanks!
