Ok so, I recently had two clowns in a 5g QT for about 2 weeks until one suddenly died and the other is seemingly dying the same way everything I tried isn't working and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong. If my last clown dies I just wanna make sure I do it successfully this time so I have a few questions.
1) is a 5g QT ok? I'm going to add media from my DT filter that's been in there since day one plus some added media that I threw in there about a week and a half ago AND use tank water from my DT.
2) my stocking list includes: pair of oce clowns, 1 purple firefish, 1 shrimp goby (most likely YWG) Originally I was going to add the clowns but I'm thinking it's better to add the others as they are less territorial. Should I get the firefish or watchman first?
3) I previously QT'd while using prazipro and cupramine preventatively which may have added on to the stress the fish were already going through. Should I just watch them over 2 weeks and after that either dose or introduce to DT? Do I still dose prazipro preventatively as it is reported not to be harsh?
That's all for now, I just wanna make sure I do this right and finally get some fish in my DT.
