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.
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.
Can you give us a photo of the feces?
