Hi,
I have noticed several topics where people talk about how they have a Quarantine tank or that a member should set one up. I would like to get some Ideas out there for people who do not have one just how this tank should be set up and how other members qt tanks are set up. Also how you would handle adding new fish to your tanks. Please feel free to add anything and everything you can
Myself I have 6 tanks and When I get a new fish I will move the fish in the tank with the least fish into the other tanks and put the new fish in that tank. Normally this would end up being my 1.6 gallon tank.
This tank has a basic UGF filter with a heater.
I will keep the new fish in the qt tank for 2-3 weeks, feed lightly, and watch for any signs of trouble, disease, etc.
Even though I rarely buy new fish I probably should get another bigger tank just for this as I feel the small tank isnt quite big enough. 8O
I would love to hear from others who have Quarantine tanks and the way they deal with adding new fish to their collection.
