Time to move and add fish!

I think I am going with the TTM and no copper.

I think that's best. You already have the two tanks and it's safest for the dragonet for sure. Also it's faster

While we're at it, what do you guys think about TTM for all new fish?

It's my favorite method of QT for new fish... though you would have to be strict about the 2 week observation period afterward since velvet has taken a recent, and sharp up-rise. Except, of course, if you can get ahold of medical grade CP... then that takes first place.

I'd QT for certain. Just to ensure that these fish aren't immune carriers.

Just ordered everything I need except Formalin and coopersafe. Couldn't find those on Amazon.

Thanks for the help!

Until the threat of Marine Velvet Disease subsides, I would be careful doing TTM on new fish.

Well, no wonder. I couldn't find "coopersafe" on Amazon, either ;P

Are you advocating for skipping TTM altogether on new fish at this point and going straight to copper or CP treatments?

I think he's saying that if you chose TTM for new fish, be sure you complete the entire 2 week observation period and you actually observe the fish daily to be sure velvet isn't on the menu.

That was a spelling joke, Humble

^^ Yes; just be mindful of velvet and take swift action by switching over to copper or CP if symptoms are observed.

And since it will be observed, switch over to copper or CP prior to starting TTM

Ok my medicine kit is complete!

I will add the fish to QT probably tomorrow or Friday!
