Hi there,
I have just set up a quarintine tank that has nothing in it except a filter and heater. The filter is not cycled and i have not started that process yet. My question is that my LFS are releasing discus in 5 days time and i want to buy two to start quarantining for a few weeks (any ideas how long?) before i add them with my other discus in my main tank. My question is can i get by with my fish by doing daily 50% water changes or twice daily water changes for the quarantine period. Is this a stupid idea or is it acheivable. The reason i want to do this is because the next shipment of discus is in 2 months, and by then the discus in my main tank will be too big for the ones in the shop.
Let me know thanks (also if this is a stupid idea, can i get an answer of how long is a good quarintine time for discus and wether to treat them for anything or not?)
