    Did a freshwater dip last night inbetween being on here as my female clown has got clownfish disease,and wow it's subsided loads now(not completly) obviously I'm still going to do a treatment dip to both male & female & also treat the tank but I was thinking at work today that i would be coming home to a lonely male clown but shes swimming round happily and feeding better.

    What a result can't believe that a bit of unsalted water could do so much

    Comment's welcome

    Freshwater dips can be beneficial, however, caution is warranted. Some fish become so stressed from this type of dipping that it will do more harm then good. Obviously close monitoring is of the utmost importance and if the fish shows signs of labored respiration removal from the fresh water should be immediate.
