Hi,

So I've decided that my next fish would be some anthias (almost 90% sure). I've been reading threads on anthias and I've decided to have some lyretails and barlett's. Currently I only plan on having 3 of each. My current QT regimen is as follows:

1. 1 week observation (can go longer if fish refuses to eat)
2. 5-7 days Cupramine ramp up (no other copper options here)
3. 4 weeks copper
4. 2 rounds prazipro - around the 2nd and 3rd weeks of copper treatment (found an online calculator courtesy of Humblefish)
5. Antibacterial trifecta (only if necessary)
6. 1 week post-quarantine observation

The question is, will this work on anthias? Also, since this is a 50gal QT (45gal water volume), can I mix all the anthias in one go? Thanks a lot in advance!
