Quick Question

[Sheridanp]

Okay, well this is the situation. I have a 2 White Skirt Tetras and a Lemon Tetra in a 10 gallon hospital tank. So, only one needs medication, but I also wanted to treat 1 lemon and 1 white skirt as well. So I accidentaly caught the wrong white skirt and lemon tetra. They look stressed enough, and I really do not want to have to catch them again. Would it be alright if I just left them in there during the treatment? I don't want the one white skirt to get lonely so I figured it would be OK since I had gotten them in there anyway. Thanks, need answer soon.

Also, I'll be using Maracyn 2 and hopefully 1 as well.

I wouldn't treat fish that don't need it. Meds are really harsh on the fish.

It's not advisable to treat fish when they are not ill, but alot add the med to the tank when only one fish isn't well, so it up to you, good luck.
