I am doing TT method on new inhabitants for my 180 tank that is ich free. I thought it would be a good idea to add all my new fish at once so the aggression could be spread out... and I will move some of my rock work when I add the new fish.
Currently I have the following fish in QT in a 20 gallon tank with 3 small pieces of LR:
* foxface 4 inches
* yellow watchman goby small
* 3 small green chromis
I have the following fish arriving on Monday from LA
* Bella sand sifting goby
* Red head Fairy wrasse
* 1 purple dottyback
Can I QT all of these fish together in a 20 gallon tank? My first preference as so much water for TT
* As they are only in QT for 3 days before new water will ammonia build up that fast?
* Do ammonia alert badges work if I add prime?
* If fish all look good no meds... If a fish is sick they will to to 10 gallon hospital tank for treatment
* Do I just purchase dry sand from the LFS and fill a Tupperware piece for the bella goby? I don't really want to lose that much sand from my DT? rinse and use?
* I will add some LR to each TT along w/ pvc for hiding. (live rock will stay out of tank for 2 months after this.
* I put sponges in my sump right now... in 1 week will they be seeded at all w bacteria to help?
I so rarely purchase fish b/c this first step is so annoying! But I am sure I have no ich b/c I have done with all fish.
thanks neptune!
