Get a cup of tank water and with the fish in a strainer on top of a bucket rinse the fish with the cup of DT tank water. It will rinse the fish off and the water will catch in the bucket. Then place fish in DT.

I would highly recommend moving the fish to a separate QT after 14 days of copper, or if you are using one tank after 30 days of copper remove copper and observe for 14 days before placing in DT.

Observation allows time to make sure treatment was successful or clean up.any infections etc.
