i found some very nice looking angels - i bought them and put them in my q tank 20 which is looking relatively healthy now - i put in a divider keeping the angels on one side as the resident silver dollars began nipping their fins - one fish now on the other side is being treated for slight mouth fungus - has had it for a while - i am treating the tank with melafix - but do i have to wait till the fish with MF is ok before i move the angels or not? i plan on keping them in q for 3-6 weeks before moving them to their new home in my big tank - also now that the divider is in place how do i medicate the tank ? the divider has very small holes in it - but will the meds flow through ok? the directions say one tsp per 10gs the tank is a 20g so thats two doses - so shoul i just do one dose on each side of the tank?
 
I would wait till ALL the fish in the Q tank are "clean" and you probly have some filtration right? that would move the water around enough....but you could still just take one dose this side and one dose that side
