Sorry for double post but I don't have a whole lot of time... :help: I just put my first fish in mt QT Friday afternoon. I set up my QT Tuesday using water from my DT, and I soaked the QT filter medium in my overflow of my DT for 2 days. I just tested my QT and my ammonia is currently at 0.6. I am worried about it going up while I am work for 12 hours today and killing my first fish. The tank is one of the cheapy 10gal setups from wal-mart. My trites and trates in the QT are both 0. There is no substrate in the QT and 3 pieces of PVC to hide in. The fish is a blue spot watchman. Should I remove the fish and put it in my DT or leave it be? I really don't wanna lose my first fish in the QT. That would just be pathetic. If I should pull him out should I do a freshwater dip? If so how do I do it? Thanks in advance.

If your DT has no fish yet then just put it in there. There is no need to QT the first fish since it is alone either way so the the Dt can act as a QT. When you get more fish then QT them.
