I’m QT’ing fish for the first time and finding it super stressful! For those of you who quarantine, I’d love to hear your process 🤔
There are so many approaches to this, and so many conflicting opinions… here’s what I landed on, which is a modified Hybrid TTM
Day 1 – Fish is placed in initial QT tank
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4 – Safety Stop dips (45 minute Formalin bath, 45 min Methylene Blue), then transfer the fish to a new tank.
Day 5 - prazipro
Day 6 - 25% water change 24+ hrs after Prazi dose (if fish look stressed)
Day 7 – Transfer the fish to a new tank.
Day 8
Day 9
Day 10 – Safety Stop dips (45 minute Formalin bath, 45 min Methylene Blue), then transfer the fish to a new tank.
Day 11
Day 12 -Prazipro
Day 13 – Transfer the fish to a new tank (at least 24 hrs after prazi dose).. if fish are stressed do 25% water change and transfer to main tank on day 14 Or more if needed
Obviously in observing every day and will add treatment or length of QT if needed
