I got three Blue Dart fish last week. They are in my QT. I have a rock and sand and had some PVC pipe in their for them. For the first four days they would only come out of the pipe to eat and then disappear. I removed the pipe and they are now hiding in a burrow they dug under the live rock.
My plan was to watch them for a week or so and dose Prazi in the tank. I do not think I am going to FW dip them- in talking with my LFS- they told me that Dart Fish are hard to QT and do not do well with FW dip or Copper.
My long term plan was a long period in the tank with observation and feeding. If I see any issues I will move to a treatment plan.
I know the concern with the rock and sand becoming a harbor of meds- so if I need to go to that- I will move them to a bare bottom tank I have.
My current thoughts are to reduce any stress and keep them eating. However, it is hard to observe them when they hide all day.
Should I remove the rock?
Anyone else QT'd Dart Fish ??
