    Re: Feeding Yellow Perch

    what parasites are you looking to kill in the dip. if you have access to a microscope you can do light scraping of the tissue behind the gills to check for flukes, salt won't kill them. fish lice you can pick off, anchor worms you can pull off with a tweezers. internal parasites such as flagellett protozoa, nematodes, round worms and tape worms won't be affected by the salt either. i'm curious as to what parasites salt will eliminate.

    It's always good to find less toxic ways of caring for our fish. Also I would like to know what type of salt was use, that might be the key to his success.
    Thanks

    I've used sea salt at 1 tablespoon per gallon for ich, but you leave it in. That won't work for most aquaponic systems as few plants tolerate that level of salt. Never heard of a dip using salt.
