My 30 day quarantine periods ends this week for my main fish, some of these fish have done 40 days as I did not get them all in to this tank at the same time.
Am I able to start doing water changes and reducing the copper level… or do I need to do major changes?
I was thinking of doing water changes and letting the Copper Power level drop naturally as I wait for my DT… 45 or 76 days is another question.
My next problem… is my other quarantine tank… (No Copper) this has my 2 x clowns and Scopas tang that got sick in the main QT.
They are all healed now, and have been in this tank for a couple of week, and would have been in copper 3 weeks before going in to this tank, they are showing no signs of ICH.
They have been well stressed in this tank with temp changes etc, another story… So my guess is the Tang would be showing signs of ICH if it was in this tank.
Do I need to use copper on the Clowns and Tang again? Plan is to not do this…. As they look fine and were in CP for 2 weeks… and got very sick.
And my last problem… 3 x mandarins in my 3rd QT tank, (NO Copper) – DT water and rock… look perfectly healthy.
I know mandarin can carry ICH.. so what do I do with them?
I was thinking when the 45 or 76 days is up and the other fish are in the DT… I would transfer them in to the now clean QT – doing the TTM..(Tank Transfer Method).
I need to read up on this…
And finally - I was thinking of using a Molly in my DT - before i add the fish... is this worth doing?
