To be prepared

yukonblizzard · 11/27/2008, 08:53 AM

I bough a Maculosus Angelfish from the Divers Den today and it is coming Saturday, so I want to be prepared. Should I give the angelfish some sort of medicine bath before qt, or just see how it goes with out treatment? I do have Prazi-Pro, should I add this to the qt before I get him or wait and see if he needs it? what ways have you qt and treated your angels for disease?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would wait an see if it needs it. Foster's has a good rep and may have treated the fish already. The key is to get it feeding and housing it in a QT with good water quality. Always monitor ammonia levels closely as you do want to feed adequately.

Since this is tank raised and subject to DD quarantine, I would simply acclimate and put it in my display tank.

I think I will just qt for 2 or so weeks and see how it goes, I just dont trust not doing qt any more. Tried it once and ended up having to take out all the live rock to preform hypo.
