While I have taken a passive wait and see approach to QT with my Bristletooth tang and he appears after 4 weeks to be fine, I have decided for future QT stock to be more proactive. While some may disagree with this approach, it is my decision and so I am asking for help with some basic technique.
Ideally, I would like to treat profilatically for both parasite and fluke,worm type concerns. In my medicine chest I have the following products:
Para Guard
PraziPro
Copper Power
I also keep Prime for controlling unforseen spikes in amonia and nitrites, nitrates in the QT tank.
After reading all label info I have the following questions:
1: Can PraziPro (worms) be combined safely with any of the other parasite meds I have?
2: Is either of the parasitic meds more suitable for a dip than the other?
3: Will Carbon remove all of these from the water of the QT?
4: Should I only consider Dips before intro of stock to QT.
5: Can I keep a semi hyposalinity level of 1.15 in the QT tank and still proceed with chemical treatment?
