Aquarium Advice Regular
For those of you that helped me through my first 5 weeks with your advice and feedback... thank you again. My nitrogen cycle is now complete and I'm ready to add a few more fish. Unfortunately, my fiancee isn't very thrilled about me getting a second tank (even just a 10 gallon) so I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get an aquarium to use as a quarantine tank. Is it definitely a really bad idea to add new fish directly into the main tank (75 gallon)? I realize that it increases the risk of infection to the tank and increases the out-of-pocket costs to cure any ailments since the large tank would require treatment but is it an absolute no-no in the hobby?
