Acclimation Question

[pkppv]

So i had and treated ich, it has cleared and been gone for a week so im going to do a water change to a lot of the salinity out. It is a 75% wc so there should not be much salt left.

My question, do I need to reacclimate the fish I moved to a different tank because I didnt want them to get sick? They have been living in 0 salinity, and now its going to be a tad less than 1ppt.

Why not do more like 90%? Leave just enough for the fish to swim upright. Less of a problem then.

i didnt want them to have to much of a shock due to drop in salinty...if that exists

 

[soybean]

Yes, hence my suggestion to remove all but a tiny but of water.

I think pkppv means he doesn't want to shock those fish that are currently in the tank with salt by suddenly reducing it to a veery low amount, and he's right. Reduce the salt gradually with smaller water changes say 25% each day for a few days. Then reintroduce the other fish when the salinity will be closer to zero.
