Another that will work is 10 ppm of NaCl. That equivalates to 10 grams per
litre. If you want to do the math there are 28 grams in an ounce and ~3.8
litres in a US gallon (European gallon is 4.5 litres). You would leave the
fish in this for a few days until the parasites are dead and gone. Of course,
not all fish here will survive that quantity of salt....
