I saw on another thread that you mix in 1 scoop of metro, 1 scoop of focus and 1 tsp of frozen food. Are you still doing the same thing? Also how long do you feed them these medicated soaked food? Thanks.It's up to you. I'm aggressive in QT. I have lost too many fish due to waiting over time.
I give everyone three days to settle in. On day 4 I start ramping copper, increasing .25ppm per day. I also start feeding medicated food. I do use live foods as well. So I start with medicated frozen, then drop in a bit of live Brine and blackworms just to make sure they are eating enough. I only do one of these feedings per day.
After seven days of therapeutic copper I watch the fish closely. If scratching still I do FW dip, if I find flukes I dose GC during copper. If not I wait to dose GC until copper is finished.
Myself and others have been experiencing some nasty gram negative bacteria in QT that is internal, literally no signs of infection. Which makes it very tough to know it's going on.
