Sunburst / Fathead Anthias QT Regimen

[reelss]

Hi folks,

I am planning to get a pair of Sunburst / Fathead Anthias fish. I know they are shy and finicky, but its a fish I have wanted for a while. My previous attempt at keeping them several months ago was not successful.

I have a 20 gallon tall for my QT. Their final home will be a Waterbox 220.6.

What QT treatment regimen would you suggest following to maximize my chances of success?

do you plan to pretreat the fish or just observe? if pre-treatment is your plan then i would run them in copper power at 2.0ppm for 30 days or 2 weeks and transfer them to a clean QT and observe i would also run them with metroplex alongside the copper for 10 days and 2 rounds of prazipro to de-worm them and for flukes

So copper with metro and prazi pro, all at the same time?

no i would dose copper power and metro together then when thats done do a water change and do 1 dose of prazi then 5-7 days later do another dose
