Tilefish ich or sand?

Update: It’s been almost a week since I transferred the tilefish back into the DT, and so far so good! I find it really interesting how much a fish’s personality can change depending on the tank size and scape.

@Jay Hemdal Thank you and others for following along—I can’t say how much I appreciate all your input and advice. It’s been a total lifesaver, and I’ve learned so much from all the posts here on R2R too.

By the way, do you have any recommendations on how long it typically takes to know if the fallow period was successful? Is two weeks enough?

Two weeks to rule out any immediate rebound, but I sometimes use 45 days as a safer option.
