Quarantine

Is there a special way to quarantine Blennies/Gobys/Jawfish? I know they like to eat algae and burrow, but since QT’s usually are bare how do you make this work?

Jawfish are the big issue, most gobies and blennies do ok in bare QT with hiding places like PVC pipe.
Jawfish are one of the few species I don’t run through copper, not because they are sensitive to it, but rather, the coral sand they need to create their burrows isn’t compatible with copper meds. I’ll put jawfish in isolation in a deep sand bed tank for 45 days and dose with prazipro.

Both my blue spots just came out off cupramine and prazi just fine. Ate during the QT also. They hid under pvc tubes while in qt also.

Did you monitor your copper levels?

How long do you prazipro? 7 days?
