I knew all the fishes should stay in QT for minimum 4 weeks to treat ich by hyposalinity after the white spots disappear on the fish's body. So my question is why are we need to wait 4 weeks after those fishes out of white spots same mean the fishes out of ich? Can I move those fishes to other QT with setup hyposalinity as same as the 1st QT. The 2nd QT won't have any ich drop out from fish so I don't need to wait other 4 weeks to kill ich in the 1st QT, then I can slowing increase SG at 2nd QT. Or I may wait for only 1 week after move fishes into 2nd QT. So the total for Hypo treatment is 7 days to 10 days the fish had white spots at 1st QT and 7 to 10 days increase SG at 2nd QT are 20 days. (better than 7 days for white spot + 6 weeks wait at hyposalinity + 10 days increase SG = 59 days for using 1 QT)
Please give me some answer to clear my mind.
Thanks,
