sorry man. I feel bad. Just have been having a hard time remembering all the details people tell me(especially at work) and balancing my time and obligations. I've been on the struggle bus lately lol.

Thanks for the reminder for the bacteria!
 
They're probably not moving around much because there's a little ammonia, it's really warm, and your salting the tank. You'd have to do the same thing to the large tank. Just wait it out. If they're not looking stressed don't worry about them not totally acting normally right now because life is not normal right now. Are they eating?

You can do this!

Short wait now is likely long-term gains. Big picture! Big picture! I know you just want them to be healthy and happy. We're all rooting for you!

That's true. Definitely don't want to do that with the large tank. Yep! They are still eating.

Oh man that big picture stuff is what I need to hear. I need to work on my short term goals/ uncomfortableness for long term results
 
Like magpie magpie said big picture! and you've got this. Just think when this is all done you will have your polys in the big tank and a cycled QT for something else.............
 
Update: everyone is eating which is great! Think I need to do even smaller pieces for the del because s/he is still having to choke the food down.

Moke appears to have a white patch near her tail fin.what is it? Should I be concerned? IMG_3129.JPG

Add tetra safe start, give you bacteria.
Wouldn't the dechloronator from the water changes kill the bacteria though? I do remember muddying that up. :p

Guess I could do the thing where I leave the buckets outside for 24 hours.

Look at this sausage. This is her side with the Ick eye, but not the "scrape" side.

Do Big WC the put dechloronator, wait 24hrs before adding a tetra safe start, then wait 24hrs before first feeding and keep checkin for ammonia everyday, ask J jaws7777 how many bottles you need for your tank, i had to used 3 bottles for my tank. Plus dont buy the tetra first start in lfs, get it from amazon, its $10 compared to lfs which is $20 for me.
