yea I know the difference btw IP and EP but then what meds can I use for IP and what are some signs to look for? And the reason I worry about their gill prob is that it started since Ive been raising the SG although its never gone higher than .002 a week but they were in a bad tank 3.5 weeks ago with real bad tank parimeters for them. Since the new tank every thing has been par.

I'm not sure they have a gill problem. Look close at them with a flashlight & see if they look red/swollen.

No it doesnt appear red or swollen. Maybe BC theyve never experienced this high of Salinity and they are still adapting. Thats what Im hoping for anyway. Still see this one whitespot on his top fin though. Parimeters are perfect.
