Probably not. They will tolerate the drop way better that the opposite.

To big of a difference.
Can't you raise the QT to the same salinity then drop if back slowly if you need it that low?

I have yet to find a fish that can't handle going straight from 1.021 to 1.025. And I have done this as the final step for going back to normal salinity with every single fish I treated in hyposalinity.
Below 1,020 you should do it slower and the greatest risk is with going from 1.009 to 1.016 because that is the range where going too fast could cause kidney damage. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

My general rule is .002 every few minutes for raising salinity, a little looser for dropping it, but I prefer to go a little slow. Never had a problem doing that.
