ICK question

hcahan · 09/30/2006, 04:40 AM

I have had my fish out of the main display for over 3 weeks now. One of my puffers still has spots but the other fish all look good. They have been in the hospital tank with a combo of hyposalinity ( SG 1009-1010) and copper treatment.
My question is can I put the fish without spots back into the main display, next week (after four weeks without fish in main tank), and keep treating the one with spots in teh hospital or do all of the fish need to be treated for 4-6 weeks in the hospital tank, after the last spots are seen on any fish? Thanks for your input.

Well, the problem I see is how do you slowly raise the sg up for one fish. If the spots are indeed still disappearing, I would wait until they are all gone and then slowly raise the sg back up to display levels. It certainly wont hurt your display to remain empty little longer.
