Thanks to all to answered. I suspended the copper treatment after Day 8 due to ammonia problems in the hospital tank. The fish all look great but I am worried about the ammonia. Last check it was 1.0 ppm and climbing very close to 2.0 ppm. (Those darn color charts look too similar sometimes.) I did a 50% water change; put in an airstone; and carbon filled cartridge in the peguine filter. I would love to save all the damsels to cycle the 120 gal I set up 10/17/2006 after the QT days are over.

hypo, bare bottom tank and freshwater dip are all you need to cure most external parasites. They cant handle freshwater long and die off.

Water changes are the key anyway, now.... about this using damsels to cycle your tank............

so what your saying is you want to save the fish just to put them through more pain by using them to cycle your new tank? IMO bad idea. all you need is a fresh shrimp from the market or a pinch of flake food to get your cycle started , or uncured LR. anything to create ammonia. those are the best ways to cycle a new tank. not with a live fish.
