Fish dying 30 gallon tank

[SaltyKrew]

Well, I change water in quarantine systems based on need identified through water testing. High ammonia is a serious issue and can require daily water changes. If the pH is fine, with no ammonia, I typically don’t change any during copper, change before and at the end. If needed during a copper treatment, you’ll need to redose the replacement water with copper.

@Jay Hemdal Good Morning Jay, Sorry to bug you I am approaching day 25 of copper Treatment, i wanted to understand the next steps a little better. As I am following your quarantine protocol on day 34 after i remove the copper from my system and start the prazi, I am assuming this is a 7 day process from your instructions. how long do i wait to put my QT Fish in my display? after the 7 days or do i wait until day 60?

Are you transferring into sterile tank for observation or just removing copper from current qt tank?

There are some different ways to end your quarantine. If the fish are doing well for you, I think you should continue with the copper for a full 30 days, then reduce the copper to less than a third of a full dose via some water changes. Then, dose with Prazipro under good aeration. Three days later, change a third of the water. Seven days after that, dose with prazi again. Three days after that, do a second 1/3 water change. Wait 10 more days and if the fish look good, move them into your main tank.
