So I have a few questions regarding setting up a QT. I have never had one before, and I’ve been reading a lot about them and planning through everything, but wanted to ask on here for reassurance. Yes, I already have a tank set up and established. I just recently lost a fish and i’m not sure why, so I am taking precautionary steps in case i need to take all my fish and pu them in QT. 1) Is a 10g tank big enough for 5 fish? I have 2 clowns, 1 yellow goby, 1 tail spot blend, and 1 melanurus (hoeven’s) wrasse?
2) I am going to add a filter floss piece from my main tank into this new HOB filter so it’s cycled with bacteria. Will also add another clean piece too.
I probaly have more questions, but that’s all for now.
I am taking precautions, because it looks like my black clown has some defects on his body, but I can’t make out what it is. I’m paranoid that it’s ich, but the fish that recently died had no signs of ich, it did get stung by my anemone and had a scar from that on its side. Ever since then it wouldn’t really eat and then it wouldn’t move that much from this one spot in the tank. Also, as a side note, I haven’t added in anything in my tank in about 3 months, and all this has happened in the past 5 days.
I will try to take pictures of the fish when i get home tonight, but I would like to stop by my LFS to get some supplies on my way home in case need them.
Thanks in advance!
