I have a 55 gallon tank that has been cycled and currently has 9 fish
3-bumblebee platy
2-molly
4- white skirt tetra
All my water levels were great, I even took it to my friend at a pet store and he doubled tested it and said all my water parameters were excellent.
One of my platy fish started have mucus below his jaw and his gills looked enlarged. He was breathing more rapidly than all the other fish.
As suggested by this let store...I have moved him into my quarantine tank and started treatment for gill flukes. I also treated the tank since this is a common parasite.
My question is how long should the tank be quarantined before adding new fish and how long should my little guy stay in my quarantine tank. He is swimming around and eating.
