Quarantine question

[Ortizdrz]

So I've been holding a friend's fishes in quarantine and leaving his tank fallow, but as I stopped by his place yesterday to check on his tank I noticed there were 2 very small hectors gobies both must've been less than 1/2" each. Question is do I catch them and restart the timer ?
For context he has a 180gallon tank , and am helping him qt given he purchased fishes from what should've been a trusted qt source to him , unfortunately the fishes were sick and some of his fishes passed due to this. His tank currently has a 25 watt uv running, i just don't know if these small fishes would make it or break it lol

What where they sick from? I have never QT'd even though I really should but if the issue is/was ich if there's fish still in the system it wouldn't resolve the ich issue.

Yes. They must be removed. Clock doesn't start until the tank is completely fishless and fallow. May also be prudent to treat the tank with H2O2 or other meds depending upon what got in. Fallow has no effect on uronema

So with uronema it's unfortunately something where he just can't have fish prone to the disease , correct ? It's my understanding it will forever live in the system. As for the system I plan on treating it with the ruby reef rally

At this stage I am treating for everything, his fishes had black ich and then bacterial infection

Black ich is most likely flukes. Can treat with Prazi in the QT tank and they will die out in the DT during the fallow period
