Quarantine questions.

[Curt Boswelll]

I am about to quarantine. Pair of clownfish. This will be the first time I have quarantined fish.

Would it be okay to do hypo salinity while doing TT?

Will tank transfer help prevent against other diseases if they are present?

I read on one thread that if you heat the water up high enough it will kill cyst and other forms is this worth it? Just to save on some salt?

Will it also help to do a fresh water dip before I introduce them to the QT?

How do I acclimate them if I do, do a fresh water dip?

Treatment for internal parasites?

Thanks for any advice!

I would just do tt and not combine it with hypo.
Tt is best for ich but will not protect against other diseases which is why it's best to observe for another few weeks after tt to make sure nothing else surfaces.
From what I know high temperature is not 100% accurate in killing ich so I would advice against it.
Fresh water dips are good if done properly in determining if there is any flukes on the fish.
Prazipro is best treatment for flukes and is a dewormer while metro is recommended for internal parasites.

TT will reliably remove ich. Do not combine with hypo. Do not raise the temperature (salt water ich is not effected). Do not do a fresh water dip as that has no effect on ich.
