I have a question. Does 3 gallons bowl is too small for a goldfish?

It was well worth it for me. Got a 300g with 30+fish including 11 Tangs. All disease free going on for just over a year now. I did use prazipro with some of the TTM. None of my fish had to go through copper.TTM seems like a lot of work for a methodology that is only effective for ich. Velvet, brook and Uronema are all arguably worse and just as prevalent. I have never considered wasting my time with this method. No fish would get into my system using this methodology.
There are untreatable fish like mandarins, I simply don’t consider them.
Good that you were lucky. Doesn’t contradict anything I wrote.It was well worth it for me. Got a 300g with 30+fish including 11 Tangs. All disease free going on for just over a year now. I did use prazipro with some of the TTM. None of my fish had to go through copper.
That's what I thought, double checking, thanks!If I follow you, there would be nothing in the ‘next’ tank in line to foul the water (e.g., nothing to produce ammonia), until the fish arrives in that tank. So you should be Ok.
Question on this - should I not set up the next transfer tank too early to avoid ammonia issues? Or is it ok to set up the 'transfer to' tank a day or two early, move the fish, clean the old one, repeat ?
I thought they needed to be in there for 12 days? My math says 11.3 days in total. Not sure if there is some flex in that?Looks done to me.
Awesome! I have one more fish in ttm on a different schedule. Once he's done I'll bring them together in qt for a few days to get to know each other.. Then into the dt they go!It looks like you have followed this pretty close.
Ich will usually drop off after 7 days
You could do one more transfer if you feel uneasy. I do not. Day 14 they go in the DT.
Per Humblefish:
A trophont will typically spend 3-7 days feeding on a fish then drop off and turn into a cyst while theronts grow inside..........
How long it takes for theronts to be released varies greatly, depending upon water temperature, which strain of ich you are dealing with, etc. The average time is 2 weeks....
Day 1 – fish in tank
Day 2 – 1st transfer at 36 hours
Day 4 – 2nd transfer at 36 hours
Day 5 – 3rd transfer at 36 hours
Day 7 – 4th transfer at 36 hours
Day 10 – 5th transfer at 71 hours
Day 13 – 6th transfer at 71 hours
Hah! Will do, once in the dt. Shh, may have to avoid the tang police(We deserve 'fish' pictures at the end of all of this!) LOL. Best wishes for some nice healthy fish.
