quarantine fish

I have a fox face that has been i qt for 2 weeks at 2.50 and has developed this odd marking any ideas

My local fish store has a Naso tang but it looks like it might have a pinched stomach. The fish is actively eating. I haven't had much luck with getting Nasos through quarantine. Has anyone had problems lately or any experience with this?

Before and After of a Pink Damsel We Rescued.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to set up a quarantine tank using a 35L Really Useful storage box (this one: https://www.reallyusefulstorageboxes.co.uk/35litre-really-useful-storage-box-c2x12529639). Since the box isn’t completely transparent, I was wondering if that could be an issue for the fish...

I am getting a long nose butterfly online from Petco and want to know what to do with quarantine it for 2 weeks with copper. They are sensitive fish and not sure if they would be able to tolerate copper for that long. As well getting a coral beauty with it as well. Not worried about the coral...

Hey everybody! Today I decided to take the plunge and rip my tank apart after a downhill turn in ich management. I have a 75g reef tank that's currently empty, and I set up my old 75g non drilled tank as the hospital tank. I got sick and tired of dealing with ich so I took the plunge. The...

I picked up my Achilles Tang the day before yesterday. He is in a quarantine tank with Coppersafe as a preventative since Tangs seem to get ich as a matter of course. His color on top of his head has a reddish hue and he has a white patch on the bottom of his head. He is eating and swimming...

My poor clownfish have been in QT for 5 months (last time I get any livestock from Petco!) Had them in QT for 30 days and they had white spots so I treated them in Copper - then I found out it wasn’t ick but Flukes so they did 3 weeks of Prazipro and I didn’t see any flukes after the last...

I know it's been discussed over and over but wanted to add my 2c to new reefers. I've been in the hobby right at two years and played the game of no qt the whole time. It finally got me and lost a coral beauty, kole tang, black cap, and flame angel to ich. I treated with kick ich with fingers...

I apologize since I'm sure this has been asked a million times and I know I heard this question on a podcast somewhere but can't remember which one. I've had a purple tang in quarantine for the past 2 weeks at therapeutic level copper power (2.5ish). Thankfully he is doing super well even after...

I have 2 purple tangs, 1 yellow tang, 2 sailfin tangs, 1 gem tang, 1 yellow eye kole tang, 1 blue hippo, 1 scopas, 1 bicolor fox face, 1 one spot fox face, 1 koi tang, 1 six line wrasse, 1 baby azure damsel and 5 green chromis. all relatively large except the damsel. I was gonna disperse them...

Naturally the fish is a big investment, but it seems suppliers who can get them on a somwhat regular basis Anyone had recent experience with them? I've done a lot of research on how hard they are to keep but there's a lot of mixed opinions. To me it's sounds like the can be a lot of issue...

OK so long story short around March 9, 2024 I noticed my fish (2 clowns) breathing heavily and I didn't know what was going on. I bought at that time, a cardinal fish from my local fish store and thought maybe it was a disease brought by that new fish. It was weird because my two clown fishes...

Hey yall Had this guy for 2 months in QT, was planning on keeping him but got a flaming prawn goby that could fit in his mouth so not going to risk it It has been thru 2 week prazi and 5 week of copper safe. Eats everything, pellets and frozen Asking $90 plus shipping Doa policy: Three...

This foxface has been in QT alone for about a week now. Coppersafe is at 2.20 ppm. He does move to eat whenever I feed it, but otherwise he's often lying at the bottom of the tank not moving around much. It occasionally picks at the bottom of the tank, I'm assuming it's trying to eat some...

I know that this has been similarly asked before, but I'm just nervous to add my little guys into their big home. I have had my Biota yellow tangs for 3 weeks now. They are in a 40 gallon quarantine and doing great nibbling on nori, taking pellets, and eating frozen. They have mini skirmishes...

I have a pair of clowns who were acting so strange. I had them for 9 months now and i noticed they were swimming weird, breathing super fast, and they weren’t eating. Long story short I now have them in quarantine and added copper. They’re doing soooo much better. I am so relieved to see them...

Its just difficult not to overfeed when you're trying to entice a new fish to start eating. I won't bore you with the ammonia spike in my QT tank, but it happened just a week after adding one fish to my newly cycled 20G QT tank. I hadn't even added copper yet. At the moment I'm using an...

Unpopular opinion; I only quarantine my fishes for only 10 days I start my 10 days after my copper reaches 2.0-2.5. When I first started the hobby I was plagued with ich/velvet. I killed many many fishes when I did not quarantine. Its has been 2 years since I started this quarantine process...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have a question! As the title suggests, my coral beauty suddenly died whilst in QT. It has been eating very well for 6 days and swimming around comfortably. It's also with a dartfish and black spot foxface as I'm treating them all together. The QT tank is...

My fish just completed a 30 day long treatment of Cupramine at 0.5ppm last week. I have added Cuprisorb and Carbon in the tank to try to absorb as much copper as possible. I have also been doing more frequent water changes. The quarantine tank is 150 gallons so I am not able to do an extremely...

I currently have a 20g (not a long), and am thinking about upgrading to a 180 and using my current one as a quarantine tank since I already have it. I'd like to get a Tang or two, but I'm not sure if you can keep them in a QT tank that small for the 30+ days required to medicate them.

Greetings everyone, So by the title, you already know we’re currently in a fallow… (80 day mark is set for 12/21) So hopefully I can start re-adding back my fish from QT and no more issues pop up again… First tank background, I have a 96”x36”x30” main display and a plumbed in 6ft/140g ish frag...

I don't have the means to quarantine fish myself and I was looking unto places to quarantine. People local to me say that all online places have lots of problems and was wondering if that was true and what places people recommend.

Is 11 gallons big enough for a quarantine tank? And how could i quarantine Anthias?
