    QT Tank

    How long does a QT tank have to be set up before u put a fish in for treatment, do u recommend new water or water from the display tank? Also i was wondering what the new fish for quarantine should be treated for, despite whether or not there is any visible diseases present?

    new fish have ich

    Should i treat the whole tank for ich, only one fish (damsel) has any visible ich? There are other living things in the tank besides the four damsels. Is it worth it to treat them all or is it a waste of my time and money? Since i just bought them the store will return them
