Question
I have six zebra danios in a 10 gallon quarantine tank.  I noticed 4 days ago a few spots on two of the fish.  I immediately raised the temp of the tank to 30c and started treating with quick cure.  I have been doing 20% water changes daily and adding more quick cure.  I have seen no spots for 2 days now.  How much longer should I treat the fish? (today is treatment day 5) and how long after the last treatment can I add the danios to my 32 gallon tank?

Hello,

Every treatment period is different- depending the sort of medicine you are using. If you read the instructions or bottle, it should say the recommended treatment time.

After the treatment period, I would say wait another 2 weeks as this is the usual quarantine period. It is good to restart the period after an illness.

I hope this helps.

Good-luck,
From Stephanie
