    I was afraid of infecting the new fish with whatever the pathogen was in the qt room so I put them into another tote for now. So far, I only have Daedalus in the main tank. He started hiding and was obviously stressed maybe for being the only fish in this big tank. How long should I wait before I move the others in? They all seem to be healthy besides for maybe one is still leaning over a little bit.

    if after some observation, you do not see any white feces or darkening, go ahead and put them all together. Are they all eating well? You did run the medication for 10 days, right?

    Yes I run metro for 10 days and heat at 91 for 7 days now. Everybody ate and Daedalus came out for food but didn't eat. He ate fine in his hospital this morning. :/

    That's fine. Now give them time to adjust without medication. I'm so happy for you to get these back to normal health and bringing Deadalus back from the dead.

    Hi Tanja, I would suggest maintaining the heat for about a week after the end of the metro treatment.

    I know! But I got bad news... I didn't see any white feces in anybody's tank for at least a week. Then today I put another fish in with D and boom... I saw feces floating around that was cream color. Not bright white, but stringy and white-ish. And this is in the big tank where I just redid everything. :'( Daedalus has a sunken belly but since he hadn't been pooping white I thought for sure it was from his ordeal. I was going to remove him but it might put him through too much stress since I just put him in there... And whatever he had made its way back to my tank already. So... Should I treat him in there or separate him? The other fish in there with him seems fine.

    That sounds like a very good idea. Should I do this in the big tank as well? I'm moving everybody in one fish at a time. Two fish are already there.
