I made the mistake of putting two true percs in my 10gal on saturday without quarentine. I figured since I dont have any fish I dont need to QT, well I just noticed the tell tale white dots. Damn.
Of course I just lent my spare 10gal to a friend to house her turtle for a week while she upgrades his tank. I want to go the copper method or cupramine but all I have to use as a QT tank right now is a little 2gal tank. Can these small clowns do ok in such a small QT tank? Im kicking myself now.

You could treat them with copper in a 2 gallon tank quite easily. Just be sure to adjust the dosage accordingly.

She mentions she doesn't use it on her broodstock as it may cause delayed spawning/sterility issues.

who would have thought it would be such a pain to get 2 clowns out of a 10gal.
Im affraid of knocking down my rock work and knocking over the corals. Edit: Well I got them out, but how come I feel so guilty?

So after 9 days in quaranteen the fish are doing very well. They've lost all their spots and are eating and playing. My new wrasse and my lionfish are now buddies, and have a new game. Its called, "Play dead, then I'll sit on you!"
I need to do a water change on the Q-tank, but the water restrictions in Calgary are making me feel guilty about it. Convince me!

For the health of your fish, do the water change. It's not like you are using the water for something wasteful. Fish health is totally important
