Help I need some advice

[KantGetRite]

So I had three fish (yellowtail damsel, jewel damsel, purple dart fish) in my DT and I thought that my jewel had ich then it and the other damsel died before I could confirm (two weeks ago). My fire fish has never displayed any signs of ich at all but I know only one stage is visible. What should be my course of action before I add new fish?

You could QT and leave the display fallow for the 6-8 weeks for ich's life cycle to make sure it is ich free.

So just move the fire fish over to the qt tank and leave it for 6-8 weeks. Do I need to do anything with the firefish?

 

[Sniperhank]

You could treat to be on the safe side and just never saw the cist life stage on it.

 

[KantGetRite]

Ok, if you were in my situation how would you treat to be in the safe side?

 

[Sniperhank]

If in QT, you treat with copper based meds or hypo salinity.

 

[KantGetRite]

Well which would be easier for someone who is still fairly new to the hobby? Hypo or copper?

 

[Sniperhank]

Copper comes with instructions.
