Transfer from qt to Dt

[Mariette]

if salinity and temp are matched, can I just transfer from qt to Dt? No meds in qt. Should I also match other parameters? Anything to watch out for?

Yes you can. I put my new guys in an acclimation box for a couple of days though.

Absolutely when I do it though I use a couple of small transfers to ensure the fish are “rinsed”. This keeps any QT water out of my DT

Hmmm. May I ask why? Is this to keep trace meds out of DT?

Yes and TBH I’m always paranoid about anything getting through.

Easy enough to do with minimal stress on the fish. I don’t see why not. Will add to my protocol thx
