So reading some of the sticky’s plus many videos etc on you tube and I’ve decided on my QT regime.
1. On receipt and before going into QT a Meth Blue Bath (30mins).
2. Into QT tank with a small background dose of salt. Likely 1mg / 10g.
3. I won’t feed for first 24hrs.
4. Day 2 feed once
5. Day 3 feed twice
6. I will be doing 50% water changes over first 3 days and replacing relevant salt level.
7. Day 4 I will introduce PP.
8. Once no longer active I will strip with Hydrogen Perixide followed by 50% water change.
9. Day 5 I will be Metro daily dose for tank plus adding to food which I
Will now increase to 3 times daily. I will run this for 10days.
10. Day 15 treatments will be complete and I willl up feedings to 5 or six times per day with 50% water changes to grow the fish on for around 3-4 months before placing into display. This will give me plenty of time to observe and react accordingly to anything displayed.
I will be starting with 3” fish.
Now I know there is nothing groundbreaking here and basically chopped bits from methods I have seen to complete something I feel gives my fish a good chance of being healthy specimens.
Any thoughts or tweaks anyone may make? Comments appreciated good or bad.
Cheers
John
