I know that QT is better, but how MUCH better than a freshwater dip, performed properly?
A fish in a small tank with nothing else in it, not to mention having to acclimate at least twice to 2 different tanks, can't do it much good.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do with my next fish, having lost my last 2 in QT. I seem to be fighting a losing battle with it.
If I do a dip properly, how likely is it that it will kill any parasites/diseases etc. that could carry over to my main tank?
