Ok so I got this rainbow wolf about 4 days ago from a shop out of town. I checked him over and everything looked good and I was super stoked because Ive been trying to find one of these for almost 3 years now locally. So today I finally get to see him out and about and I notice hes covered in the little white demon spots. Normally I use the salt+raised temp remedy for all my cichlids. Is this and ok method for the wolf also? Hes in a 55 with some small Black Devils (<1") and he was eating in front of me finally today. Ive got an Emperor 400 on the tank for filtration running the basic cartridges.

Heres the kicker, in 3 days Im going out of town for my wedding for 12 days. I have a friend watching over my fish and all that and hes pretty good. But I was just going to let the salt and heat run a couple days over the normal 10 that I usually run. Will that be ok? thanks guys
 
Depends on how good your friend is. Isolating him is best for treatment, but treating him where he is at is ok. If your friend does exactly what you would do and goes through with the salt treatment it should be ok. Congrats on your wedding!
 
cool. This was one of those "I know the answer to this question, I just want reassurance" times, considering Ive waited so long for this stupid fish :D Ive been treating him for two days now and hes still eating like a monster, So Im not super worried. I think everything will be ok.
