I'm sure this has been discussed hundreds of times in the past and I did find some old content about this, but I figured every year there are new products on the market so it was worth asking.
I'm currently dealing with a case of Ich on my quarantine tank *phew* on 4 new fish I purchased last week. The Ich showed up 4 days after purchase. I am currently treating with meds but they do have the warning about staining your tank seal etc. I don't care for this tank, but if ever I had to quarantine my entire display tank's inhabitants in to a hospital tank I have, I definitely wouldn't want it staining blue as it's a really nice tank.
Basically if ever I got Ich in the main tank, I would remove the fish from the tank to the hospital tank, pump up the heat full blast in the main tank and salt it and treat the fish in the hospital tank with meds. So yeah, just trying to find something that works well and doesn't stain.
So glad you guys advised me to get a quarantine tank...
Thanks!
