Please confirm my qt steps so far.

hey guys thanks to all of you on here I have had good success with my fallow period and treatment of my fish. I just wanted to get your opinions on what I've done so far. I know i ran copper a little longer than needed but I had some issues getting the tank cycled initially so I ran it a few weeks longer. Essentially just a copper and prazi treatment. Initially treating for velvet, potentially ich, and flukes. Will be doing freshwater dips before they make it back into the tank. I'd like to start placing them back into the display as soon as prazi is done if Everything seems good from you guys. I haven't seen any spots or odd behavior in the fish since the first week of treatment back in February. I took a picture of my tank which documents the procedure. If you have any questions please ask

If I read that right..
44 days of copper followed by 2 rounds of prazi(as of the 8th)?

As long as the copper remained therapeutic you should be good for ich/velvet. Is the prazi treatment being done because you verified flukes or are you doing it prophylactically?
If you're treating for flukes I'd still recommend a week or two observation after prazi if you can swing it. I've dealt with prazi resistant flukes a couple times now. The prazi would knock them back to the point of zero symptoms but then I'd see the symptoms again in 4-7 days. If you're just treating prophylactically (for flukes) then I'd say you should be fine. I'd do the freshwater dip, as you planned, to verify.

Lastly, how long was the DT fallow?

Thank you for the response. I am treating prazi phrophylactically. I have not seen any other reasons for it. And to answer your second question, my tank has been fallow since the 20th of February. If I did my math right, the 8th should be 76 days.

Sounds good to me, so long as prazi was re-dosed 5-7 days apart! . Good work!

Thanks guys and gals for reassuring me . I will be sure to finish up the prazi as described and match my display and qt parameters before adding the fish back in to the display over month or so. You guys are awesome
