QT Treatment Process?

[Devan Petersen]

Good day all!

I just set up my QT system and i am wondering what others do while fish are in QT. Do you have medications that you always use? Do you treat in a particular order? ect...

I'm sure i could post 100 questions, but i don't want to make this too long.

What is your QT process and do you have any advice for me?

I do observational qt, I don't dose any meds unless there is an issue. I leave my fish in qt for 6 weeks or more if needed. I do however do a freshwater dip before and after they go into qt. I know other users will dose meds no matter what, well see if any of them chime in

My QT process is as follows:

1. Introduce fish to QT with salinity matched to that of transport bag
2. Allow fish to settle in, adjust to a schedule and insure feeding (~2 weeks)
3. Perform Tank Transfer Method to eliminate crypto, dosing Prazipro on transfers 1 and 3 (Day 1 & Day 7)
4. Observe for at least 2 additional weeks
5. Introduce to DT

The only med I dose prophylactically is Prazipro. I only medicate for other pathogens if symptoms are present.

Good reading and practical methods developed from lots and lots of experience by Humble and Meredith. Hope this helps. Cheers!
