Quarantining eels with other fish

[cody hendrix]

I am getting some fish next week including a zebra eels, marine betta, yellow tang, Vrolik's Wrasse, Lyretail Hogfish, Pakistan Butterflyfish. I only have one quarantine tank a 40g breeder. I would normally use copper in my quarantining process but I know eels are very sensitive to it. How would you guys go about quarantining them?

I just wanted to add I have Kanaplex, Metroplex, Furan-2, Cupramine, Rid ich plus, general cure all on hand. If there is something else better I am more then welling to get it.

I put my golden dwarf moray through ttm using a critter cage.

I believe that you can also use Chloroquine Phosphate (CP) with eels - but you'd need a veterinarian to prescribe it for you.

The only thing is I have a wrasses and I only have 1 tank to treat in.

I have read of people having success with using cupramine but CP is definitely the safe choice here, unfortunately you have a halichoeres.

Yea I may just throw the wrasse in my frag tank and take the risk. There are only two fish in that tank. So that I can treat the rest of the fish.
