Adding a fish to existing QT w/copper

[GOSKN5]

I have some fish that have been in copper for a couple weeks. I have a fish that I need to add to the QT if possible.

What is the best way to do this? Slowly acclimate? (How long etc?)

I understand the clock starts over for all the fish currently in QT. I also understand this is less than ideal. Thanks for the help.

If you are set on doing this I would set up a bucket and start slowly ramping up the copper to match your QT (temp and S.G also) then in 48 hours or so when the copper matches transfer him.

What kind of fish are we talking about here?

I have added several fish directly to therapuetic copper without issue.

Be careful keeping fish in a bucket for 48 hours, ammonia toxicity could become a problem.
