So the bottom of my QT is starting to turn brown. Like diatom looking brown. But I have no sand.. its just glass? I have a Copperband Butterfly in there and have 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate. Kinda nervous what it is and if the fish will be ok?

CBB has be in QT for 1.5 Weeks. I treated with prazipro as a prevention but the fish was super healthy in the LFS is eating a TON! you can see my other threads about my worry of feeding too much lol..

Sooo option 1 you all inform me this is ok.. as long as my parameters stay in check.

Option 2... I transfer to DT given the fact it has been a super healthy fish in the QT. No signs of stress or sickness.. begs for food as soon as he sees me. ALSO!!! I have no fish in the DT so.. worst case I can treat in the DT or destroy my aqua scape getting him out to treat if a sickness comes about...

So lets hear your thoughts!!
 
Option 1. Algae of any type is not going to bother your fish. Contaminating your DT and therefore causing your fish to spend 72 more days in QT is a much less happy outcome.
