Hello do you know how long Ichthyo lives on cold water at the fish ?
When you salted to 5-6ppt and water is only 10-12°C at which day flashing should stop ?
At warm water they lost the parasites after 24h, but no experience with cold water...

It takes a lot longer to deal with at colder temps- plenty of info online if you do a search.

Thanks for your response and your link.
But i don't found any length of time for special temperatures.
Only the information that 7°C need 6 week for one cycle.

When you have 5ppt, and fish would looks normal after 4 weeks, do you reduce the saltinity to 3ppt ?
We already learn that a water change too soon will react the itch and kill all of your fish

Hello board,
added much salt to raise to 5ppt saltinity ten days ago.
Fish are eating but still with white spots.
Water is 10-13ºc warm/cold.
Do you think they will need only time or not enough ?
