I've been fighting flukes for over a month. And although I've lost a few fish 3 have survived. They are in separate QTs....yes 3 QT:eek1:
My question: how long should I keep them in the QTs before they can go back into the main tank? The main has been fallow for 5 weeks so far. I was thinking as long as they do not show any signs of flukes for 2 weeks they should be ok to go. Thoughts?

That should be fine. Keep in mind they will scratch for some time after flukes are dead gone. I had some scratched for almost 2 weeks after prazi. I dont think dt needs a long fallow for flukes, 4wks I believe I read, but I haven't seen anything substantial to back that up.
