I have a fish that is on a journey through QT and meds. After 12 days in therapeutic levels of copper, the black zoster started to develop what looked like fin rot. Since it had been in copper for more than 10 days, I decided to take the chance and transfer it to a fresh QT so that I could treat it with kanaplex/furan-2/metro and skip the rest of the copper cycle.
After 9 days in the meds, changing 25% of the water every two days, etc, the fish is looking good. Fins appear to be on the mend, and no signs of any other issues. Tomorrow will be the 10th day of meds, and I will stop.
What's my next step? Another period of watching for anything that might show up? It's been through copper, it's been through antibiotics, seems like it is likely that it will be disease and pest free now. I know that time is my friend, and I am not in a rush to get it in the DT, but I am wondering what folks do at this point?
