TTM question

Ab129 · 01/12/2020, 02:34 PM

Putting my regal angel through TTM and I want to put him into DT ASAP, as soon as TTM is complete. Brought him home on
Monday January 6 at 9 pm,
transferred on Thursday, January 9 @ 8:45 pm,
Sunday January 12 @8:30 pm,
Wednesday January 15@ 815.
So I should be able to put him into DT on Saturday January 18.
Am I correct?

No not really. You want to observe and make sure the fish is disease free after TTM, most suggest a minimum of 30 days. Did you treat for flukes in addition to ich? It’s a calculated risk if you want to introduce the regal to the DT after TTM without a observation period after the TTM is complete

Thanks. I understand that it’s a calculated risk as far as other diseases go.
The question is have I successfully completed TTM at this point?

yes after the last transfer on the 15th, TTM will be complete
