    Just completed my 1st formalin dip (35 minutes), the fish seems completely fine, and all things considered does not even seem that stressed. However, it is still covered in crypto (marine ich) looking specks, was it unsuccessful? Or should I not see immediate results?

    Fish is still floating in a bag of clean water before re-acclimation to a tank, and I would like to know if I need to dip it longer before I release him.

    Thanks! Read through it, but no word on if I should still see marks after the dip. I am gonna assume its just residual scarring from the previously present crypto, since I think its been bagged long enough :-/
