Aquarium Advice FINatic
I'm in the process of upgrading from a small tank to a large one. My husband keeps dropping "hints" such as:
"We really don't have to have two tanks, do we? Now that you've got your large tank, you only need one, don't you?"
So I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep my smaller tank up and running (space is a bit of an issue so I understand his concern)Having experienced what an outbreak of whitespot can do to a tank - I'm going to keep the small tank running as a quarantine tank until my new tank is stocked. But after that, I may have to dismantle it.
Leaving aside all the ways I could persuade my husband, and all the reasons I need a quarantine tank -- assuming that you really are in a position of having to add fish without a quarantine tank, what would be the best way?
Transfer as little as possible of the water that comes with them? How?
Medicate them somehow?
