If your prepared to QT then yes. My QT protocol is typically for 6-7 weeks total.

Thank for the information, i would start doing my qt after 3 week of free fish

My personal QT protocol is Tank transfer method(TTM) for ich then another 4 to 5 weeks(depends on work schedule) in my main QT for observation. At some point during the QT I treat with 2 rounds of prazipro for flukes and internal parasites.

If just doing a strictly observational QT then I would go for 72 days in the QT.

I just stick to 90 days fishless to be extra safe...
