Are there any remedies for a brackish tank 1.013 SG for a scat with popeye. Only one fish is affected at the moment. Can I take that fish out and put it in a higher salinity hospital tank or should I make the hospital tank fresh? Would a change in salinity help?

My thought is to boost the salinity because the salt will draw any excess moisture from the fish's body.

HELLP!
 
"Treatment per Dr. A.J. Meyer - Using a small container, place 4 liters of tank water and add 1 ml of a 10% solution of Baytril oral solution (enrofloxacin). Place the fish in for 60 minutes at a time once daily with an airstone and repeat for 5 consecutive days. The same water can be re-used each of the five days. This medication or solution should be available by prescription from your local Vet. " I borrowed this info from http://www.chucksaddiction.com/ I hope it will help if its not to late, I would have posted something sooner but I had never come accross any information on the condition before.
