Red scooter dragonet QT

JOKER · Jun 23, 2017

Ok so i have a pair of red scooter dragonet in a frag tank with no other fish. I want to move them to my main display tank. Do I need to QT them before moving?? Also the tank has some bubble algae in it. Will I move the bubble to the main tank when moving?? Thanks

@melypr1985 or @Humblefish would be the best to help on this question.

If the dragonets were never QT'd, then it's best to at least do TTM on them before transferring. It's also possible that the bubble algae would transfer with them, though if you run them through TTM, I highly doubt that it will.

^^ Agree; you can sustain dragonets during TTM by feeding this: https://www.marinedepot.com/Nutrama...Coral_Food-Nutramar-NM3151-FIFDFZFSFP-vi.html

Ok thanks. I will try to take them through it then. They are very healthy and fat so I think they should be ok as long as I can keep them from jumping out. I found the male on the floor a couple weeks ago, but it made it after placing back in tank.
