I will update this thread with my qt experience
This is my first time treating for parasites and using a qt. clown has brook or velvet starting 3 days ago, all other fish have been managing mild ich for a couple months. everything is still eating and active but theres been flashing for weeks.
when i saw clown had something other than ich, i started doing nightly 5 min fresh water dips until i can get my hands on treatment.
im waiting on Formalin, rally pro, methyline blue, and copper to come in the mail. everything will be here by thursday. methyline blue will be here today.
i set up a 29 gallon qt tank with HOB filter and air pump.
When i have all of the equipment, what do i do? i dont know what can be dosed together. Ive been watching videos and looking at humble fish website but i cant find all info i need.
my plan is:
1. remove all fish from dt and put in methylene blue bath
2. put fish in qt and treat with formalin
3. daily water changes? how much? do i dose formalin daily after water change?
4. Can i use ruby rally pro with formalin? with copper? should i just do formalin?
5. treat for how long?
6. fallow period for tank 78 days?
i have methylene blue coming today, should i do bath and then put in qt if i dont have any other meds yet? i want to wait until i have everything and just keep doing fresh water dips to hopefully keep them alive.
please help me figure out what meds to use and in what order, what to avoid, etc...
i really hope my fish can make it and i regret going all out on my tank and refusing to qt.
