Janelle Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I bought 3 platys the other day and added them to my cycled hospital tank. The next night one of them had babies, so I have about 13 fry in the tank too. I need to run the fish through the med trio before I add them to my established community tank. Can I do that now that I have fry or will the meds hurt the fry? Do I need to set up another hospital tank and move 3 of them over there and run them through the trio? Thank you!

Administrators Cory Posted April 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 22, 2021 I don't seem to have problems doing it, but every situation will be different. At this point, you may be leaving illness behind if you move them. It's a lower chance, but still a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 @Cory Thanks for the reply! I definitely need to treat, 2 fish have fin rot and 1 is all clamped down. 😐 My next concern is withholding feedings from the fry while I treat. Should I keep doing brine shrimp throughout the treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
