QT help!!

I'm SO upset right now! On Tuesday I had a trio of lyretail anthias arrive from Diver's Den (LA). One of them had fungus on her tail fin, which I didn't notice until I put her in the tank. The fungus has gotten worse and now spread to my female flame wrasse. I was treating the whole tank with Pimafix, but that caused oxygen issues and the fish and coral were sick.

So now I need to set up an emergency QT in a rubbermaid tub. I need some pointers on what to do. I have a small power head and heater to use. Can I put the anthias and female flame in there together?

Ugh, I'm just so upset and I don't even know where to start!

 

If you have saltwater pre-mixed, do a water change large enough to fill your QT tank.

Move over some rock, sponge, filter media, etc from your display tank....anything that has a bacterial biofilm on it.

 

Okay, I will move over some small pieces of live rock. Thanks for the tip.

This is so upsetting!

 

Do you think I can put the flame wrasse and anthias in the tub together? It's about 10 gallons.

 

yeah, they'll be fine

 

Okay, thank you very much.

 

don't you work for live aquaria?

 

no. lol that's a joke.

 

my bad haha
