I have found anywhere from a few weeks to 6 months seems to be the time frame for them to go. Could be anytime really though. It one of those things where you just never know. The cyanide often damages the liver, so I think it maybe depends on how long the liver takes to deteriorate.

So many variables though, so I don't think your going to get a solid answer to that one.
Is there any way a person can medicate the fish when they bring it home sort of as a perventative thing?

I believe that there are more fish deaths caused from cyanide then we know of because everyone figures the death is because of something else.
