    ok, well i've had my 2 clowns and coby in a QT tank for about 4 weeks now... treating for ich.. incase you didnt know.
    my 29 DT is still fishless.

    what should i do now? ( aint the treatment for any fish about 3-4 weeks?)

    cant put the fish back in the DT since not 6 weeks since i took them all out yet...( or can i?)
    how can i add them back so that they dont get stressed so much?
    (still waiting for 6 weeks though unless of course its better to put them back, i mainly need to know what to do now with them)

    Yes leave them out for 6-8 weeks. Run carbon in your qt tank to soak up the copper treatment. Also do a good sized water change on your qt. Be sure to keep up with water quality in the qt, specialy if you don't have much filtration on it. Also feed them good vitamin enriched food soaked in garlic to get their immune systems strong before transfering them back to the dt.

    yea but my question is if i should do anything to the QT?? like a major water change? (if so how much water should i change. My QT is 25G. ) or just keep copper running? since my fish are still in there.
