Quarantine question

[severum mama]

How long do you guys quarantine your new fish? I've got some newbies in a 10 gallon for now, just curious how long I should leave them there. Thanks!

I leave them in there for two weeks.

Me too 2 weeks.

It depends for me. If it's a store I'm familiar with and don't expect problems, then about 2 weeks. Otherwise closer to a month. I feel that you just can't be too careful when adding new guys to your setup.

Cool, I'll keep an eye on them. If everything's cool after 2 weeks, I'll add them to the display tank. If not, I'll wait another 2 weeks after I see the last signs of any diseases.

Thanks for the advice!

Same here, I keep them QTd for 2 weeks.

If there are no problems when I get them and no problems after a few days, I do two weeks. If there are problems when I receive them or problems develop, I usually wait 3-4 weeks.
