Sick Firefish?

Thanks, Bob. Here’s a follow-up, and some additional questions. The next morning, before getting your email, I went ahead with one more 20 percent water change, dropping the specific gravity to a little under 1.012. As of now (48+ hours later), I can no longer see parasites on the fish’s skin, fish’s color looks better, fish continues to eat well — in short, this appears to have worked. Recall that I had held specific gravity at 1.017 for three weeks, and then increased it to 1.022, after which I noticed these parasites. I wonder what mechanism is at work here.
