Betta Sorority Trio-Medication Quarantine Help!

[Laprasalex]

Hello, 

This is my first time using this forum. I need help or need someone to help me. I am currently starting a betta sorority and have all five female bettas each in their own temporary 2 gallon tanks. I purchased the medication trio: paracleanse, maracyn, and ich-x. However, the instructs call for treating 10 gallons of water. My five tanks are each 2 gallons. My question is: Can I get a bucket of 10 gallon of water mix all three medication into the bucket and then pour this mixture into the individual 2 gallon tanks for each betta? If someone can please help me out, I would gratefully appreciate it.

Thank you,

Alex

It's easier just to put in 1/5 of the recommended dose into each tank. It may be difficult to measure small amounts exactly, but it does not really have to be exact.

There’s a handy video on the Fritz Aquatics website (makers of Maracyn) on how to treat aquariums smaller than 10 gallons. I can’t seem to link to it from my phone, but if you navigate to the Maracyn page, then under directions & dosage, scroll to the bottom and you’ll see the video link. I have several 3 gallon tanks and used this dosage method.

To @Stef’s point, there’s also a FAQ page on fritz’s website that I used that walks you through how to make smaller doses of their powdered meds, I used that before for a sick betta I had in a 2.5 gallon. It’s a few more steps than dosing for 10 gallons but it’s easy.
