Quaratining entire Tank/quarantining the quarantined

[Heartbreaker]

Hi,

So I was out of the country when some new discus came. Unfortunately, the person who I had watching the discus mixed them in with the others without following my quarantining instructions.

that being said, I was thinking I could just quarantine the entire tank. I only have sand, driftwood, MTS, and an albino pleco. The older group I had 6 discus that were already quarantined. With the new ones I have 8 with 4 more on the way now.


So again, my question is: would it be ok to just quarantine the entire tank? Would that work?

A little background: I use Al's process. My quarantining process is a 6 week thing. I observe the first week. If everything is ok, I treat with General Cure for a week. Week 2 & 3: 24-hr Levamisole bath. Week 4: Nothing. Week 5: final 24 our dip/levamisole bath. Week 6.. observe and hopefully mix with other provided there's no problems.

The important thing that comes in play, even if the fish were in for day the chance of cross contamination has already happened. I suggest you go with the quarantining process with the whole stock.

Once different stock is mixed , i dont see any point in quarantine them anyhow afterwards .
Whats done is done , just observe your discus behavour and hope for the best .

I was thinking that this would be my best bet. Better safe than sorry. I'm going to wait a week or 2 until the news ones come and just quarantine them all together for 6 weeks.
