QT update and questions

[PJtree23]

So all my fish have been in quarentine for 12 days now. I have been keeping them in a 5 gallon bucket which gets a 50% water change per day with a fresh dose of copper sulfate.

All of the fish look great now and don't have any spots. Can I begin reducing the copper dosage and return them to the DT soon?

I was thinking that because I have been constantly changing the water all of the parasites should be dead and gone...right?

And well hopefully they are all dead in the DT too.

+1 on the full 3 weeks. Don't take any chances.

How are you monitoring copper level in the bucket? 12 days is not nearly long enough to eradicate any parasite. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean its over. Have you read the threads on parasite life-cycles? What parasite are you treating? I think you need a lot more info, so the more you provide, the more help we can be.
