ive just finished my 4th transfer. i will be moving the fish to the 75g hospital tank next. i plan to do 2 prazi treatments after 1 week in the qt. other then that i wasnt planning anything else unless i notice a problem.

is there any other meds i should definately do?

meth blue dip?
metro?
cuprimine?
malachite green?
maracyn plus?

on another note. im very upset this morning. some how my 5" 2year old lawnmower blenny jumped 10" above the water and out a crack on the lid of a 32gal rubbermaid last night. found him dead this morning on the rug. UNREAL...if i have any luck its bad. he was my favorite fish.

No, you should be good. Treat with Prazi and observe.

Wet Web Media advocates this (methylene blue), I do not use it and cannot intelligently answer questions about it.

No problems. Just asking.

Freshwater dip on new arrival has its merit. it will reduce the number of external parasites on the fish and in turn reduce the stress on the fish. of course the fish has to be super healthy when arrives. I will not do a freshwater dip on a otherwise stress looking fish (heavy breathing, laying in the bag, not swimming actively in the bag).
