Quarantine questions

[drtash]

When you have a sick fish and is on a medication. How often are you suppose to do water changes and what percentage?

It would depend on the medication. The meds should have a recommendation.
You should also be monitoring the water quality just in case you need to do one to get parms under control.

What are you treating?

Agree with above, meds should have a schedule and instructions on back, for instance, furan-2 has you do 2 doses over a 24 period and then a 25 percent water change after another 24 hours, just depends on the meds, also, as stated above you also need to monitor water quality, ammonia and such.

Agreed— follow typical med-manufacturer’s instructions for water changes. For copper, however, if you are doing your own tests for ammonia, you will need a SeaChem Ammonia Badge (about $7 on Amazon) as the copper will throw off other ammonia tests (such as API).
