I've been playing Russian roulette, and there was a bullet in the last chamber.
My flame angel is the last fish I planned on adding to my system. Well, he came down with ich yesterday.
My question being, will a 10 gallon QT be big enough to hold all 5 of my fish (2 clowns, flame angel, hi fin red banded goby, YWG) for the hyposalinity treatment? I know they may not be happy about it, but I don't think I have any other options. I might be able to set up a second 10 gallon in a couple of weeks, but it isn't a feasible option RIGHT NOW. If I need a second, I guess I can do my absolute best to squeeze it in. I just don't want there being any issues with aggression in a cramped space OR ammonia problems.
The hospital tank probably won't be ready to go up until Friday. Which, is not the best of circumstances, but it's the best I can do at the moment.
I can get PVC so the gobies can have places to hide and a couple of flower pots to help make the clowns and angel a bit more comfortable.
Does the checklist below look ok for the hospital tank?
-AC50 filter
-floss
-ammonia detoxifying filter media
-carbon
-heater
-PVC piping (couple of bends, couple of straight pieces)
-2 or 3 flower pots
Another question:
Can I run an antibiotic treatment in conjunction to hyposalinity for my YWG who I was planning on pulling out of the tank to treat for an infected wound?
