Would copper for 30 days be the best QT for convict tang? I have them in QT now, and they look healthy. I thought about tank transfer, but copper would be easier.. Thanks

I've kept convict tangs in coppersafe many times. I have a very small one in copper right now that is doing pretty well. I would say that you should be ok with doing a copper QT.

If you choose to do TTM just make sure you're observing for signs of velvet/other issues during and after treatment before adding to the display. Treating for flukes would also be a good call :)

I agree with above, 30 days in copper (I prefer Copper Safe) would be fine I would also do two prazi treatments to be sure it's clear of flukes.

Thanks so much. I have cupramine and prazi. I will monitor for a week after treatment to be sure. They seem healthy so far, but you never know.
