Sounds like a lot but I bet they are all really small. If the 20 is well cycled, well maintained, I don't see a problem for quarantine.
Well I'm thinking of keeping them in buckets for a few days, then moving them to the current cycled tank and moving those out. The three fish in there will be over 14 days in therapeutic copper this Friday. I can throw those ones in a new QT for the prazi treatment and I won't have to lower the copper too much in the current QT tank.

Qt seems like a lot of it may work. How much more does it hurt the immune system of a fish or help it? Can stuff come in on inverts or non fish?

Depends I guess, some fish are more sensitive and it will depend on the quarantine methods.

Yes, things can come in on non-fish. I'm actually kind of thinking of sending in a DNA sample from my final stage of QT to Aquabiomics to test for any traces of ich, uronema, flukes, etc. before moving to the large tank. It's $99, but that is way cheaper than introducing something that will wipe out fish stock of a 200g.

He's going to quarantine everything, inverts, corals.

I use mine for mostly observation, treat if necessary. Though I treat all fish for internal parasites. They almost all have.... worms... And no I ain't @robanister

Did you ever get a notification for that ich testing?

No, I might have missed it. Email maintenance is a beast and I'm absolutely terrible at it. My school emails me for my daughter all the time and I miss it. Ask me in person or call/text. I'm probably one of the worst people to keep in contact with.

Yessir.

I'm actually thinking of QTing and selling some fish. Same thing as I mentioned, using Aquabiomics at the end as a result when selling would be a nice cherry on top. I would probably just sell local though since you'd have to bag with oxygen to ship fish.

Like Dr. Reef, except it's Dr. Kas
It's been a fun learning experience with these first three through copper. I think it is a totally doable thing, people just skip out on it. 75% is just reading the literature on it, what fish handle what, difference between scaleless fish, what fish are prone to what diseases, and then just following the rulebooks.

I'd consider so far this copper power Qt of a tang, dwarf angel, and leopard wrasse a success. I've done Hybrid Tank Transfer successfully. I kind of want to try hypo on some hardier fish to start.
