QT 2 fish at the same time?

[Aggie1978]

I have an emergency hospital need for my 2 fish. I lost my only clownfish to Velvet and need to QT my only remaining fish (Blue Hippo Tang & Foxface) to treat with Copper Power and then leave the DT fallow for 76 days as recommended. Problem is my QT is only 15 gal. Can I place both fish for treatment and then for the remainder of the 76 fallow period for the DT? The fish are mid-size, about 3-4 inches each. I know it will be uncomfortable for them but I really have no other choice. Thanks

Well, you have to go with the 15 gallon. It is pretty small well no make that way too small for 2 tangs of that size or any size. You could buy another quarantine tank. But if the fish do not start murdering each other, you could well get away with it. Remember the fish stores keep fish in limited areas all the time.
