Trying to figure out my quarantine routine. I currently have 5 red eyed tetras an 1 black neon left in my quarantine tank they are being treated for ich. They were in an aquarium I bought on CL.
I have a 10 gallon tank with an Aqua Clear 20 and no decor in it. I read this on a website "How long should I quarantine my Fish?
Most hobbyists will keep their fish in quarantine for 2 to 4 weeks. During that time they often treat for parasites with a Copper Sulfate treatment for 14-21 days, and only treat for bacterial infections if there are obvious symptoms (ragged fins, red spots, etc.). Make sure to do 10-15% water changes every other day to keep the tank healthy."
What do you guys recommend or find helpful before adding to your community tank?
