If moving to QT I would suggest dosing Metroplex for 10 days as instructed.

RRR has dosing instructions for using as a bath. Add instructed amount to saltwater.
Thanks i just wanted to make sure since its quite easy to kill sick fish with overdosing

On the bottle , there are instructions like add 1 ounce per 10 gallons once per day for three days... but this is like for the whole tank right ? Theres nothing written about bath dosage so im somehow confused here....

Prior to treatment, I agree on freshwater dip. Do assure the water is same temp or a tad warmer- Not colder. Additionally monitor fish behavior during bath which should be about 5 mins or so. if getting jittery- time to pull out of water, then begin your treatment.
Treatment - Remember useable gallons. Useable gallons are what you actually have as an example............ if you have a 40 gallon tank and a few pieces of rock and décor, you will have about 32 useable gallons as rock reduces Total water volume , , , , , this way you wont rick overdose.

For a bath use one teaspoon per gallon.

Bath can be 60-90 minutes.

Yes you can. Just keep eye on fish for any distress
