Har läst på ett antal ställen att saltbad för fiskar kan motverka eller mildra parasitangrep. Någon som vet hur mycket salt det ska vara i förhållande till vatten?
Hej,
Som Annika skrev så beror det på fiskarna - för Guldfisk rekommenderas bla. följande:
SALT DIPS http://puregold.aquaria.net/disease/treatment/trtmnt.htm#SALT%20DIPS
Dips are brief exposures of a fish to a medication followed by the fish being put into fresh water.
Materials:
1/2 cup (1cup = 2,5dl) salt with no additives per gallon (ca 4liter)of tank water (no temp shock)
Methods:
0. mix the salt into the water.
1. put the fish into the salt water and start timing the dip. A salt dip of 30 seconds for small or stressed fish is sufficient. Fish can be dipped up to 5 minute if they continue to swim without sign of distress.
2. the fish will come up to the top, generally on its side, poke the fish and the fish will dive and swim
3. if the fish doesn't dive or doesn't dive quickly, take the fish out and put them into fresh water. It is not a good idea to put the fish back into the tank they came from until that tank is cleaned out or treated first for parasites.
4. take even a still active fish out after 5 minutes, leaving them in the salt dip longer will kill them.
5. for SMALL FISH, when they come up to the top and start rolling even slightly, they must be removed immediately no matter what the time limit. This means their gills can't handle it. Even if it has only been a few seconds.
Cautions:
1. the fish may dive to the bottom of the tank and sit there, this is usual
2. after the dip, the fish will "purge" both feces and ammonia from the gills, so the water must be tested and the water changed.
