I have Never quarantined fish before and I've been in this hobby for a long time. Well they say it's bound to happen and it did to me.. I had a major set back with a velvet outbreak. Lost about 1/2 my fish stock and the others are in a rubbermaid 100g tank in my basement going through a copper treatment. I need to have a QT procedure in the future for livestock. What do you guys do and what is your QT set up?
So far this is what I have..
20l, heater, aquaclear 70 filter, pvc elbows, cupramine with a hanna copper test kit and lastly a seachem ammonia badge.
Couple questions.. If I put filter floss in the filter will that absorb the copper?
Does everyone dose copper with new fish just to be safe? (even without symptoms of ich or velvet)
Is just putting them in hypo good enough?
