so while reading upon what are some good size tanks for quaratine tanks, this question er.. idea came to thought.
what if I were to go get fish/fishes that has ick or other illness symptons from a fish store and brought them home for the sole purpose of practicing how to hospitalize them and to succesfully bring back to health?
say, practicing how to successfully quaratine fish. eg, feeder fish or minnows that are sold for bait which happens to have ich or just really stressed out. bring them home to quaratine, some die, some survives.
I understand you are supposed to quaratine fish before you put them in your dp tank. but lets say if you are starting out fresh?? it would be like a mini on the side project.
sooo then lets have it that some fish became healthy again after a few attempts and are ready to be put into the dp tank. therefore having practiced and successfully hospitalizing fish, I would now be more confident in the future. hmmm .... well I dont know if its a good thing or not, it will be like buying fish as test subjects only. but unless there is other reasons for the fish. well thats what the idea I thought about....
