Few questions about tank transfer method

[kelrn98]

I am currently trying to use tank transfer method on all of my fish. I had 2 show evidence of ICH and didn't want to take any chances. This is the first time I have seen ICH in my DT. I have used hypo on all of my fish in the past.

I am using a fish trap and have managed to catch 7 of my fish thus far. The ones I caught were transferred the first time on the 4th day in early am. No problems. For the 2nd transfer I on day 7 I had a heater problem and couldn't perform transfer until 3pm. Will this cause any issues? Should I start over?

I would start over. As you know the ich life cycle is well documented and timing is a factor. I wouldn't risk it for only 4 days.

Might as well start over. You have wait 9+ weeks of fallow on main anyway.

thanks. that's what I thought. It will give my QT more time to cycle anyway. Had to go buy a 40B for a new QT set up. At least all fish are healthy at this point.

just want to say I successfully caught 8 fish today!! Yeah for fish trap!

Yay! Glad you do a better job than me catching them

if they are hungry they are gonna have to get into the trap, lol. I have 7 fish to go. I have no idea how I am going to catch my orange spot blenny and mandarin though. Also have a small hippo tang and a rusty/flame angel hybrid that are very shy and have gone nowhere near the trap.

Happy fishing, good luck.
