A quarantine method poll!

[Willbiker]

Hi all!

I like to quarentine my fish but I'm unsure if I should go for observational only or proactively treat with products. I've lost a couple of fish when treating with copper but never lost a fish or had any issues when just simply observing.

I couldn't find a poll on this topic so thought I'd create one to see what is most popular.

Id love to hear details of your methods!

30 days organically bound copper
3x prazi over two weeks
2 weeks observation
FW diagnostic dip for Neobenedenia
If positive for Neo, add 35 days hyposalinity

Hybrid TTM (H2O2), treat with prazi at the end. (1 x 6 days), observation two weeks after.

My newbie mistake was to not quarantine. (velvet)
I nearly contaminated my display with ich by observing a Hippo Tang. (cross contaminated anyways)

So I have decided I'm going to proactively treat. Haven't yet decided on the exact protocol as of yet.

Humblefish ‘option b’ (2 weeks copper power @2.25ppm then move to new tank)

Prazi x2 in clean QT tank & observation with medicated food (usually 2 weeks total)

H2o2 baths between all transfers
