Change of Plans - Tank Transfer Method for Cryptocaryon

Well the copper caused two fish to stop eating.  Thus I made the decision to stop treatment.  There is no sign of the parasite visably.  However I suspect it not to be truly gone so today marks the 4th day of the tank transfer method I have now chosen to go with.  I transferred my fish into a large Centrex plastics container with a plastic coated wire shelf for the top.  Using 2 pumps, an airstone, heater, and PVC pipes for hiding spots they have been in this environment for 4 days and now get transferred to the new identical location for 3 more days.  The rubbermaid was just too flimsy and unusable once water was pumped in.  Here is the container you want to use.

The tank transfer method was chosen because no medications are used and you transfer them from tank to tank every three days allowing the parasite cyst to drop off and the lifecycle is disrupted and cannot reinfect the fish because you move them.  Tomont cyst have a maximum of 7 days that they are attached so this will effectively rid your fish of parasites.  Here is the break down.

1. Day 1 - relocate fish within Tank 1.
2. Day 4 - after 3 days (72 hours) remove the fish from Tank 1 and place in Tank 2.  You hose out Tank 1 and allow it to completely dry for at least 24 hours.
3. Day 7 - after 3 days (72 hours) remove the fish from Tank 2 and place in Tank 1.  You hose out Tank 2 and allow it to completely dry for at least 24 hours.
4. Day 10 - after 3 days (72 hours) remove the fish from Tank 1 and place in Tank 2.  You hose out Tank 1 and allow it to completely dry for at least 24 hours
5. Day 13 - after 3 days (72 hours) remove the fish from Tank 2 and place in Tank 1 or relocate to their final destination.  NOTE:  If they came from a display tank originally you will need to let that tank be free of fish for 10 weeks to allow the parasite to die out.  Without fish hosts in the tank the parasite will die.
