I have had my clowns in quarantine in a 10 gal for 4 weeks to treat ICH. I noticed that my fish were not as active and social so I tested the water and my Nitrite was at 1.0 and my ammonia was at .50. So I did a 50% water change with water from the display tank. I am considering putting them back into the display but they are being treated with copper and worry that using a net will cause them more stress. What Should I do?:help:

I replied to your post in the Marine Forum about this. Also, clowns don't do well with the copper treatment unfortunately. Most use hypo for them.
Thats good to know. I put them in a fresh water soak for 5 mins before I put them in quarantine. I chose not to do the hyposalinity because I didn't have a refractometer.
What do I do now that they have been in there for 4 weeks? I want to put them back into the display but I worry about netting them but I don't want to get any of the copper into the display if I scoop them out with a cup.
