Hey guys I have my first fish (3 flasher wrasses) for my DT in QT now and had a couple questions on the process. Fish have been in QT for 12 days.
1. The fish arrived in 1.016 SG water, I matched my QT to that but my display is 1.026. What's the safest way to raise the SG in the QT and at what rate should I raise it up ?
2. Thinking ahead to the transfer, my plan was to siphon water out of the QT until I could easily net the fish, put them in a bucket with a small amount of water from the QT tank in it, carry bucket to the display multiple rooms over, then net again and drop into display tank. Any tips or tricks to make the process easier or less stressful on the fish?
Thanks,
