Time for MT?

I have had 2 tank raised oce's in a QT for 3 weeks. Successfully treated for Brook 2 days after getting them from LFS with in tank formalin/malechete green, and fresh water/ formalin dip. They remain brook free, and are very hungry/active. Is 3 weeks enough or should I hold out 1 more week?

Knocking on wood, I've never dealt with it. I've read go 4 weeks, and I think I would be patient and wait. Here's brook info

I'd give it one more week feed them what they will eat but I would hold in QT for at least 1-2 more weeks. Always better safe than sorry "Brook" can wipe out your whole tank. Congrats on the successful treatment!

Thanks for the info. Thats what I was thinking, but Iam staring to get impatient. I really hope they they will host my BTA. Which still doesnt have mush color after 2 months in tank with regular feeding. I does have bubble tips once in a while and it looks otherwise healthy(open, tentacles extend and retract). It found its happy place within one hour of being in tank.

gsp, did they have brook or were you treating them in case they had brook?

They had what appeared to be brook, the rapid breathing,white spots on side. Cleared up very quickly with fw dip and formalin/malachite green (quICK cure is the product).
