First, did you sterilize the QT since the last fish death?
You are correct about having enough bacteria to keep the ammonia at bay. Copper will not kill beneficial bacteria, not a significant level to wipe them out of your system and it will recolonize considerably fast.What is considered sterilize? What do you do to consider it sterilize? I just want to ask to see if i have done a enough delicate work.
Now i have a dilemma:
Having in mind that The goal of qt is to keep fish in there and medicate them until parasites and all hitch hikers gets eliminate prior to introducing the fish to the main display.
The qt must have enough bacteria to keep the ammonia at bay. And we also must medicate.
Doesnt madication like copper kill also bacteria?
So one side keep as much bacteria as possible the other side is medication.
To me right isnt this contradicting?
How do you go about and arrange both?

Very quality advices. I appreciate alot guys. Now i have some more haha.
If medication does not wipe out bacteria, how long do you think i should cycle the tank?
Should i use sand and rocks from my dt?
What happens when i finish quarantining first batch? Do i tear down and start again from sterelizing?
About the ammonia issue. I do not get any nh3 reading but my fish keep dieing. So do you think i have issue with bacteria?
That i never thought ofAnyone consider the food youre feeding mightve gone bad?
