Hi there,
I am getting a couple fish this Friday (blackcap basslet and a clown goby). These will be the first additions to my tank after losing my fish in QT after an ich outbreak.
I have had no fish in the QT since mid december, and I plan on keeping the new fish in QT in hypo for 6 weeks to hopefully rid them of any parasite that may have come in with them.
My question is, will keeping them in hypo for that long ensure they are free of ich? Do they need anything else done? How soon after I add them to the QT tank should I start dropping salinity, and how fast?
Thanks for the advice!
Tim
