Protozoa, but it's okay?

[elly]

He said there were a lot, so I was wondering. Bonk's poop is mostly solid, so I guess he's okay otherwise. Thanks for answering.

Anyone have any idea if it would be okay to move him into his permanent tank now, or would it contaminate the tank?

How long has it been since treatment? I'd, personally, wait 4 weeks after treatment is finished before moving him to the qt tank.

Thanks. It's only been a couple of weeks. I'll give him more time to flush the protozoa out if you think that's what will happen.

I think it's safer in case he starts exhibiting symptoms again. It will be easy to spot in quarantine and will not infect your permanent tank.

Okay, so what should I look for? Do I need to take him back in for runny poop or does it need to be a more severe symptom?

[LilyPad]

I would take him back for runny poop, or at least call and let the vet know he's symptomatic again and you'd like to pursue a second round of treatment.
