[hottuna]

I just got a new pair of clarkiis. they are already in the display tank with nothing else.Ido not want to use copper incase I want to add anem. later.

what is the s.g. for the hyposality treatment? 1.015? and for how long to ensure parasite drop off. ???

any help on this procedure appreciated....

thanks

You can keep them in Hypo for as long as you want... However why are you looking to do this to your new clowns? Do they have brook/ich/or anything else wrong?? If not I would just leave it

bones:they are scratching their gill cover on the sand every so often and "twitching"...

Probably gill flukes. Hypo (see the post above for details) is the way to go. Use a refractometer, swing arm hydrometers usually are way off.

Good luck.

Either that or ammonia burn, pH burn.
