So I started doing a TTM to get rid of ich on my fish, accidentally did a tank transfer on the wrong tank now I’m not sure what to do.
So my second batch of fish I was want to transfer today 01/08/2020 but I ended up transferring my other fish which have only been in the tank for 2 days. (48 hours)

just wondering do I leave them in that tank for 3 days now or do I change them over again tomorrow to match up with my normal routine?

No big deal. You can do a transfer at 3 days OR LESS. Never more. Just keep transferring every three days until a total of 12 days. You may need to do an extra transfer to make it to 12 days at the last day (if you want to technically follow TTM protocol).

You should now transfer the tank that is on day 3 (hopefully you have the equipment or will need to sterilize with bleach and dry quickly).

Wait I’m confused so the tank that accidentally transferred after 48 hours I leave it for 3 days? Or shall I do it tomorrow like I was meant to ?
 
Either way is the same. Just don’t let any tank go longer that 3 days. Less is fine but involves more transfers for a total of 12 days.

If you wanted to, you could transfer every day 12 times, or every 48 hours 6 times. Or every 72 hours 3 times.

So my 12th day was meant to be this Tuesday, and Tuesday will be 72 hours from today. So will that be my final transfer or shall I do one more for safety?
 
As long as all your transfers are performed within 72 hours, you can stop after 12 days (so, as scheduled).
I’m just going to one change tomorrow and another on the 13th day. Just to be safe.
Appreciate the help bud

Sorry mate I’m just being paranoid not sure if you’ve answered this already but if Tuesday is the 12th day of the process. Would the transfer that’s on the 12th day be to my “hospital” tank and no more transfers needed.
