first, thanx for being such a big help last time with jiffyfish - he recovered just fine! now, however, he's got a new sore or growth or i don't know what almost in the same place. help!

Answer
Hi Dean,

Let's get Jiffyfish into some saltwater to see if we can't get rid of that little nasty parasite.

I recommend 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon.  Leave him in it 4 days. :)

Clean his home tank spotless meantime.  Return him once it stabelizes.

I'd worry if it increases, rather than increasing.  

Keep in touch and let me know!

Happy fish-keeping.
