Medication for quarantine approval

Hi guys, I need to quarantine some otocinclus, bettas, corydoras, and rasboras. Are these meds good?

Do the used meds treat dormant parasites ?

By dormant I meant small amounts of worms that don't have any noticeable effect on the fish.

Personally I think 79F on the long term is too warm for S&P corys and perfect for Sterbai.

But to honest I was never succesful keeping C.habrosus (though they are one of my favourites).

Funny thing is that some people keep (or even breed) certain fish without doing something special or not following "the rules" (if those excist). Other keepers following these "rules" never succeed hahahaha.

But a lot of decent keepers have had issues with C.habrosus which made me suspect the smaller tanks (more instabil circumstances) they are kept in as "nanofish" could be culprit.

hahahaha! So, can 6 sterbai's along with other fish go in a 20 long?


Okay, sorry to move away from the question but I wanted to ask DoubleDutch this.

Don't recall the complete stocking, but sizewise you can.

Mmmm

Okay.
I think it is too warm for Otos as well (sorry)

I have to disagree. People say otos can live in 79F. Could I keep a betta in 77 F?

Prophylactic treatments – NONE.
Do NOT simply dump every over-the-counter antibiotic, antifungal, “complete” or “general” cure-all without any signs of disease. By using these drugs at below prescribed therapeutic levels, you are breeding resistant bacteria. These bacteria will be a big problem if they become resistant to several drugs. There is no guarantee what the box says is even what the powder or liquid contains! The safest thing you can add to your quarantine/hospital tank water is a tap water conditioner and aquarium salt IF YOUR FISH IS TOLERANT OF LOW SALT LEVELS.

If a fish has ich or flukes, fungus or a bacterial infection, it will be evident. And remember that long white stringy poop is just an empty fecal cast and only means they haven't been eating, which is common for shipped fish.

The only thing I've used as a preventative is fenbendazole and only when receiving livebearers. They're known carriers of camallanus worms which can go undetected in qt, but aren't usually a big problem in other species.

Thank you for the detailed response. I think I will do that. ( I am very indecisive, lol)
