I believe I may have some skin flukes in my angels that just finished their metro dosing. What strength of salt dip should I use? From what I've read 4tsp per gallon for 30 min. Is common. Is this right or do I do one of the stronger ones for a shorter period of time?

here's what I do...A salt dip in a separate tank is the best way to use salt to treat angelfish diseases.
Mix 5 gallons of conditioned water with 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt/non iodized salt and heat to about 82 degrees.
Put the fish in the tank. If it rises to the top and lies on its side, that?s common. If it shows severe distress, return it to its tank immediately.
Treat the angelfish in the dip for a maximum of five minutes
Then back to clean water.....
