    0.75% salt and I still found fluke!

    I've had 0.75% salt in the pond (due to TDS meter issues, now resolved) I was treating for costia and after 3 or 4 clear scraped I thought we were in the clear. I've been trickling in fresh water slowly since and was at 0.55%. But the fish were still sulking, not interested in food much, so I scraped again and yesterday I found a fluke. These things are becoming bomb proof! Supaverm in the pond and the fish seem a lot happier, so hopefully that will be my season starting after the 2nd dose....
    ...unless that's jinxed it.

    Funnily enough my fish were looking great then this week after all the warmth and getting to over 20 they started flashing so scraped a few and found 1 small fluke. Left it a day or so and one fish has the little 'salt' like granules of white spot on so FMG is in currently! Seems like the sun sent the parasites into overdrive
