Is it safe to release new fish to display?

[jbeanz24]

Hey everyone , i purchased a group of 4 bartlett ‘s anthias back on 3/10 , they were placed in a 10g quarantine tank the same day. They showed no signs of disease however i did a prophylactic treatment of copper safe. Copper reached therapeutic level on 3/22 and has been maintained since. I also treated with general cure. The fish continue to show no signs of illness and eat voraciously. I was considering releasing them into the display this saturday. Is that safe ? or should they continue to be left in quarantine for an additional amount of time?

I would do 30 days of copper if it were me. Otherwise, you could move them to a completely brand new/sterile observation tank that is more than 10 ft away from your quarantine tank and observe for a few weeks.

I would also do 28-30 days of copper.
