Quick quarantine question

[Fallguy44]

I have 3 fish that have been in my QT for 3 weeks. I just bought a couple of pieces of live rock to add to my DT. I wanted to quarantine the live rock too. Can I add the live rock to the QT with the fish or should I get the fish out of there?

Fish look fine but was still going to wait the full 30 days. Thoughts?

You should have different QT tank for that, in case you needs to dose some type of meds it won’t get absorb by the lr. I wouldn’t risk it, it could possibly Introduce something bad

I wouldn't dose with the live rock in the tank. Thankfully all fish are healthy so I'm not expecting to need to dose anytime soon. I think I'm going to release the fish into the DT and let the live rock in there by itself for a month.

IMO 3 weeks isn't enough time to be sure the fish are disease free. Especially with fish with thick mucous coats like wrasses I've had disease appear later than that time frame.

Ah ok. Thank you
