thx all fro the info, looks like i missed the boat on this trying to be conscientious of the animals and not medicate if it was unnecessary but seems like that really not going to cut it.
I actually just recovered form an ich outbreak last summer that ultimately killed all fish and the DT was fallow for 4 months. That also promoted me to ultimately build out a quarantine system in my basement that i used for these fish. I guess the lesson is that if you have all the right tools but use them incorrectly it really negates the effort.
my QT system is 2 - 20 gal tanks fully cycled and ready to go. I will do what i can to make due. If anyone is interested i can update here as things progress
again, thx all for the input
