Since posting that, partly in response to requests made elsewhere, I moved
Hoshi to a 3.2 gal bucket (tonight, I'll move him to a 10 gal tub). With
the three containers, I should be able to do a "round robin" kind of deal
and finish the new fish's quarantine, while doing tub-to-tub on Hoshi.
I also started him on the Medi-gold this morning. He still has good
appetite so that augers well for his prospects.
