As I've posted elsewhere, I'm looking after my niece's 10g for the summer. It's got 2 tetras, 1 guppy, 1 danio, and 1 tiger barb.
Had the tank for about a month, and everything has been all good... Until tonight.
I noticed one of the tetras is missing basically his entire tail. Not sure when it happened, but I think it might have happened just today, since I took all the fake plants out to clean them, so they wouldn't have any place to hide from the tiger barb.
So I want to QT him, probably not add anything to the water, but just give him some alone time to heal up.
Usually I would use my handy-dandy deli cup to just QT him right in the tank, but the cup currently has guppy fry in it. I have another deli cup, but I don't think I still have the lid.
Might be able to find some other plastic container for an in-tank QT...
I've got my recently empty
() 2.5 mini bowfront, which even has a filter. It's all cleaned up (with bleach, and dried for a week or more), but I was just hoping not to have to set it up again for a while.
So, what's my best option here for QT? Is it going to be the 2.5g tank? If I do the tank, should I turn on the filter? Or would it be best to use something semi-clear right in the tank so he can still see his tetra tank mate?
Or should I just pull the tiger barb out and stick him in the 2.5 g
Kidding... Sort of...
