Ok,
So I got a couple batches of fish from Dr. Reefs. Unfortunately most did not make it, but the company stood by their products 100%. AND none of the fish seemed to perish from any disease that I could see, just straight up good one minute, eating away, dead the next morning.
So, I am left with 1 desjardini sailfin in my QT tank, which has 2 black mollies as my canaries (right from freshwater). They have shown no signs of any disease, outside of the one that had a bulbous eye all of a sudden, I think from getting hit by the two mollies who are trying to mate all day. I tossed that fish, nothing in 2 weeks since. There has been no signs of any disease, and it has been 33 days in my QT. I put in Metro a few times, tried Prazi but it made the water really cloudy despite a powerhead and two sponge filters, so water changed it out after a few days.
So, how much longer should/would you wait before adding to the DT? Should I treat with copper for a couple weeks just to be absolutely sure? I have been burned by brook years ago, and the scars (and hit to the wallet), run deep.
Cheers!
