To pull or not to pull from quarantine

[Chitown tom]

Ok I need the experts to way in here.

Currently I'm running 3 separate qt tanks and looking to take one down.
The maintenance on all 3 is getting tough lol!

My foxface has been in qt since 3/19 and will be 5 weeks this Sunday. I administered 2 doses of prazi one on 3/25 and the other 3/31.

Other than that he has been eating great and looks nice and healthy.

Can I release him in the dt on Sunday or should I wait the last week?

If you don't see anything wrong with the fox face at all and he is eating well, I think the risk of pulling him out early is on the low side. The fox face specie is pretty hardy anyway.

Did you watch him every day for other symptoms to show up during this time? When not prophylactically treating for ich or velvet it's very important to sit in front of the QT for 10-15 minutes daily to observe the fish's behavior for the signs of parasitic infection.

I have tried my best. I usually feed each qt tank one by one and spend time in front of it.

At the beginning the foxface was super skiddish and would go camo every time I went by the tank. The last couple of weeks no more camo and runs to grab the food.

No rapid breathing, no spots, swims around, looks great to my rookie eyes

No flashing or scratching? Head twitching or yawning?

Negative on all of that.

Negative on all of that.

Assuming you've been able to watch closely and be reasonably sure he's not flashing or scratching, then you should be good to go.
