TTM question

[HairyGary]

So I just made my last transfer with a wrasse. I fed him right before I made the transfer this morning but also fed him once I moved him. However I mistakenly used the same food and pipette. I normally switch out pipettes once fish in new tank as to avoid water transfer.

So question I have is do I have to start all over or can I do an extra transfer for 72 hours is up?

Might be an “overthinking it” question. Thanks.

I think you should be fine. I am a freak as well though and understand. I keep separate food containers for QT/DT etc.

In theory if you transferred free swimmers through the food being that it was final transfer, you most likely would have had an unsuccessful TTM anyway. The fish would have likely been infected if free swimmers were present to grab with food.

Thanks. Yeah the in theory portion of your response is what I am concerned about. He has always looked clean but may do one or 2 more transfers anyway.
