Aquarium Advice Freak
Have had some bad luck lately with recent fish purchases (tetras that die after transmitting ich to my healthy tank, Betta with popeye) and I'm thinking that I need to set up a quarantine tank. Petco is having a sale on these tank kits - a 10g with accessories for $39... Don't think it includes a heater so that'd be extra. But I was wondering if a 10g is appropriate for quarantine? I have only fish that fit in my 10 or 20g tanks, so it seems like a few weeks in a 10g wouldn't be bad as needed.
Could a five gallon be big enough? Does it need to be running the whole time that I'm not using it? I'm worried I'll just end up wanting to put fish in it! . How do you resist the temptation to stock an empty tank!?!
