    Most people will tell you that at a bare minimum, 21 days. 30 is better to be safe. Monitor for any signs of infection, and treat accordingly.

    I've had a pair of Clowns in my QT for about a week now. My question is should I be putting in any additives/preventative meds while they're in there? Or just keep all the parameters as stable as possible and just watch for any issues?
