We have had our fish in Quarantine for about a month now because of our clown and six line wrasse showing signs of problems. The clown is still showing a fine white fuzz on his forward body, mainly his face. We have been treating the tank with Pimafix and they are looking better. I have been netting him (the clown) at night and placing a separate bucket that is suspended within the top of the QT with an air tube in there with him. After doing this he is looking better and better.

Now the question .. all of our other fish have never shown any sign of problems and look good... should we keep them in the QT or can they go back into the display? wise? unwise??

If the diseased fish is in the QT with other fish, then all fish must be treated for the disease AND not sent into the display tank until all the fish (including the diseased one) in the QT show perfect health. You do not move fish to the display from a tank with a diseased fish in it, until all the disease in the QT has been verified to have been eliminated.

This is the problem with putting multiple fish through a QT process. I don't recommend this 'multiple QT' of fishes unless the aquarist is very experienced with treating diseased marine fishes.

Good luck! :)
