Ok people, I need some help.
I have a quarantine tank set up with all the basic necessities (heater, small HOB filter, bubble stone, and Seachem ammonia alert.)
I CANNOT seem to keep any fish alive longer than 2 weeks. The last fish I had was a Talbots Damsel. I drip acclimated, let it settle for a few days, then slowly dosed cupramine over a period of a week. By the time it got to 1.33 ppm, my fish was in bad shape. I did an emergency water change (50%), paused the copper treatments, and closely monitored the fish over the next few days, but unfortunately he wasn't able to recover. I cannot seem to crack the code when it comes to quarantine procedure. I have been using "Current Quarantine Protocol" by Jay Hemdal and "How To Quarantine" by Humble fish as a guide, but am wondering what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas??
