About two weeks ago, I purchased an auora goby from my lfs. It ate and looked healthy there, and was quarantined at the store as well. Being a little cautious, I decided to hold it in QT for at least two weeks. I fed it NLS hexshield, and this weekend will be the two week mark. It has yet to show any visible signs of illness, and eats aggressively, swims around normally, and breathes fine. I’m wondering what my next course of action should be. I own metroplex, cupramine, and PraziPro, and am debating if I should treat something like PraziPro for a week, just for precautionary measures. On one hand, I want to ensure health for my goby. On the other hand, I don’t want to keep it inside the QT tank for too long, exposing it to medicines that could hurt it. What would be the best next move?

I wouldn't add anything else to the QT tank and just observe it for a couple of more days.

I feel that we sometimes harm fishes more by throwing meds when nothing visually can be seen. Just my 2 cents
