I am planning on gettig a pair of mandarins and a shrimp goby (either a yasha, wheeler, or hi fin) to replace the ones that died from the velvet outbreak and associated copper QT. Hove any people had success with a certain method of QT for these types?
This is my plan as of now unless people have had better sucess with other methods. I would like to get some now and do a observational QT (no meds or hypo) for 4 weeks before placing them in the display. They would go through a 5 minute freshwater dip before entering the QT. The 10 gallon QT would be set up with a 1/2" bed of aragonite sand and has been cycled for 2 weeks with my new clown. I am also planning on adding a clump of cheato to help keep pod population up. I have a pod farm made from cake pans that has about 2000 pods to keep them fed constantly with a turkey baster full of them twice a day. All 4 fish would share the QT tank as I only have the one tank.
