tank transfer question

[avandss]

Hey, so after everything that happened my qt protocol needs to be solid!

is this a good plan-

week 1&2 - prazi

week 3&4 - observation

week 5&6 tank transfer with final transfer being display


protocol would obviously change if at any point after prazi i see ich, but if i see no signs of disease i will fatten the fish in pristine qt water conditions before doing TT just to be sure

I like to do TT first, then observation, Levamisole for internal worms & fw dip for external. So far so good with that method.

PP will suppress appetites in some if not all fish so that may not be the best course of action with new arrivals

In that case

1-4 observation

5-6 tt+ prazi?

Whenever I buy new fish, I begin TT right away and dose Prazi at the onset of transfers 2 & 4.

Beginning with the last transfer, I then observe for 1 month.

Thanks humblefish. I will do exactly that

My quarantine protocol is:

Week 1: Acclimation and confirmation fish is/are eating well
Week 2-3: PraziPro (two treatments 5 days apart)
Week 4-5: Tank transfer followed by move to DT if no ectoparasite symptoms present (i.e. velvet, brook)

This is what I recommend.

And I QT for a full 12 weeks, including inverts.

Yes, just noticed after this procedure on the 28th day after TTM my female clown was flashing and twitching. If I did not observe for the 30 days I would be seeing this in DT...not good.
