hi
one of my azuls had a internal infection so i had to put him in a temp 10 gallon tank,now he is doing better should i put him back or should i wait a few more days until i put him with the other peacock bass. The azul is around 5inches so the 10 gallon is too small but iam worried if i put him back now he will struggle again

Why do you say internal infection? What did you treat with?

I would keep him under observation for at least 5 days. If it is some type of infection or parasite induced problem, I wouldn't think it would clear itself up that quickly. Just my .02.

Prazi Pro is a great safe med for internal, very safe and effective

thats true but only for parasites, never hurts to dose new fish with it regardless. I always do anyhow.

Has the zul been eating and does it pass any strange looking feces?

thanks guys for the help, unfortunately in Srilanka we do not have prazi pro, but at least his swimming around. I didn't try feeding him yet but do you guys think market prawns is fine for him?
