Quarantine Timeline For New Fish

[SaltlifeHokie]

I’ve searched the board but can’t really find the exact answers I’m looking for.

I bought a pair of Ocellaris Clowns and a Royal Gramma 3 days ago and they are in my QT. Prior to going in my QT I did a bath in Safety Stop (Methanlyne Blue and Malachite Green.)

The fish are doing fine and don’t have any signs of sickness.

I have PraziPro, CopperSafe, Cupermine, Metroplex, etc on hand.

Should I continue to monitor them or should I start dosing Prazi Pro or Copper?

Thanks in Advance!

I generally go with An active quarantine be: 30 days of coppersafe with 3x 4mg/l praziquantel treatments on days 10, 20 and 30. Then, I remove the coppersafe with water changes and watch the fish for another 14+ days as an insurance policy. That said, I don’t use prazipro, so you’ll want to go with their dosing schedule.
