It's been 3 weeks since I lost most of my tetras from ich. I'm planning to restock with a couple guppy or other small fishes. (Less than 6)
Would like to ask what is the best way to quarantine new fishes.
I only have one proper fish tank so any quarantine will need to take place in a bucket or plastic container. What would .be the minimum size of the quarantine tank n will they be ok without any filtration or heat(room temp 23C) systems?
Should I use tap water for the q tank or scoop water from my existing tank? And how often do I need to change the q tank water?
Finally how long do I need to quarantine the new fish for?
I appreciate all your help !!
