So I got my first 2 fish in QT a few days ago. I got a purple firefish and a royal gramma. They both came from same water supply and I planned to use humbles option 1 for QT. So the second the RG got in the tank he hid, barely moving. He doesn't even come out to eat. After reading, I was hoping he was just being a shy RG. Well I then noticed that they had some white spots (didn't look like ich) so I did a FW dip, to determine flukes. Definetly fluke positive (on RG non on FF) Well I started my prazipro day 1 today. I went to check on RG to make sure it was still alive, and saw white stringy poop. I would take a picture, but its pointless he is hidden under the pvc pipe. Can I use both at the same time? I can't soak the metafix in the food, bc he is not eating. Thanks for any advice.
QT tank, bare bottom, lots of PVC (it was fully cycled before fish):
29 gallon
aquaclear 70 (2 spounges, bag of bio balls)
koralia (put at waterline, so it causes more air bubbles)
ammonia alert
150 watt cobalt heater
Temp: 78F
PH: 8.1
Phosphates: 0
Nitrate: 5
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0
Calcium: 425
ETA: my purple firefish looks great, acting normally and is eating well.
