QT medication question

[newfly]

I have 4 chromis and 2 clowns in QT since 1/9. Lost one jumping out the tank.

Here is the medication dosing to date. The fish react weirdly (maybe sensitive to the meds) in the beginning when i dose General Cure today. They seems better as time passes.

I read you need 2 dose of GC (prazi) 5-7 days apart. how much risk i'm taking if i skip the second dose of General Cure?

All the fish is eating, some more than others. None of the fish is showing any active sign of sickness.

If i skip GC, should i continue with Metro every 2 days? for how long? the instruction on the bottle says 10-14days or until symptom disappear. I'm already on day 14th.

My original goal is to keep them in copper for 30days.

	Copper (Hanna)	Metroplex	General cure
9-Jan​	0.92​
10-Jan​	1.47​
11-Jan​	2.25​	1​
13-Jan​	2.2​	1​
15-Jan​	2.3​	1​		water change
17-Jan​		1​
19-Jan​	2.3​	1​
21-Jan​			1​

I can't count. I'm on day 10th on metronidazole.

metronidazole can be rough on some fish, that's why some just use prazipro unless there are signs that metronidazole is needed. You need the second dose of prazi/metro in order to break the lifecycle of flukes and deal with any eggs that may hatch from the date of the first treatment.
