quarantine

Hi all, last week we noticed signs of ich/ velvet on our mimic tang. He was scratching up against rocks .Unfortunately, that fish recently passed. The tank currently has a clown, 1 purple dottyback, and a pajama cardinal. The clown had ich around 7 years ago when we first set up the tank but...

Hello there! Starting in the reef world and want to take the safe route, so I'm going to quarantine everything that goes into the main tank, I've been reading this forum for some time and watching plenty of videos (like the BRSTv Series for Qarantine 80/20) and everything seems sound, except...

Fairly new saltwater tanker here running a FOWLR… I’m getting a new clown to replace one of a pair that died a couple months ago (cause: stopped eating. No idea why. Treated the tank for parasites (prazi+metro) and all other fish and crabs have been fine and lively since with no health issues...

Hello, I’ve recently bought a midas blenny, a gramma loreto, a Banggai cardinalfish and a clown goby. Fishes have been doing well for about 3/4 weeks until now, and I can’t see any sign of disease so far. Apart from the clown goby, which likely suffered a prolonged shipment time and perished...

I’ve read humble.fish quarantine procedures, this is my first time quarantining any new fish. I have a 60 breeder with a couple powerheads, heater, and marineland hob filter for QT. Im picking up a Magnificent Foxface tomorrow and am setting my QT up tonight. My LFS recommended starting with...

My father bought a seahorse on his way home from South florida. And he, not knowing the difference, bought a wild caught seahorse. What should I do to prepare for it??

So I just introduced two Picasso clowns to my 29gal system. Shortly after, introduced some inverts. One of my clowns took a quick fall from brook. It all went down within a day. Needless to say, I lost one of my first fish in the hobby. As of now I have a QT tank setup and the remaining clown...

Do I still have to quarantine the fish if I’m buying a fish from a local person that is getting out the hobby breaking down their tank? Shouldn’t the fish already be quarantine from being in their tank alive and well

I'm currently expecting to acquire either a Red Ruby or Scooter Dragonets. They've been with a seller for several months now. However, I would like to quarantine it. Could you confirm whether the HTTM is the current best method to quarantine a dragonet? @Humblefish has replied in 2019 to the...

I bought a one spot fox face from my lfs and I put him into my quarantine tank. It's a 20 gallon tank. Is the tank too small? I would say he's about 4 to 5 in.

Hey all! If anyone has seen my last post, the Melanurus is completely fine! I was worried over nothing. Anyway, I have some questions regarding quarantining my fish. So I have a 39 set up with 5 fish currently in it; tribal blenny, royal gramma, firefish, bluestreak cleaner wrasse, and a striped...

I just started the reefing hobby 6 months ago and I have loved reading the forums for information, however I sometimes have trouble discerning which method is most appropriate for my situation. I really appreciate any help that experienced reefers can offer. I have set up a QT, it is 20g long...

In our previous tank we picked up Ich and Velvet from not quarantining our fish. After losing half of the fish and having to rush together 3 proper hospital tanks for corals/fish/inverts we vowed to do anything we can to avoid that in the future! Now 9mo into the current tank setup (90gal) and...

Hey guys I just got a 5 year old flame angel from a local reefer taking his tank down. The fish seems to be in perfect health but I still want to put it in a qt tank. What would y’all recommend treating it with? I’ll post some pics later!

I bought this 5 gallon Top Fin tank with the intent of using it for a lobster tank but quickly realized it didn’t fit my needs due to the intake being at the bottom and small chamber space. It would make an awesome quarantine tank, bare bottom tank, or freshwater tank! It comes with everything...

Hello all! I currently have a citron goby (Gobiodon citrinus), two captive-bred neon gobies (Elactinus oceanops), and a molly miller blenny (Scartella cristata) in my 10-gallon quarantine system (which has not begun medication), which have been with me since 9/5/2022. I have been experiencing...

Hi, I have a spare tank in my closet. I use it for observation. If I have an outbreak I move said animal to a hospital Acrylic box. In my observation tank, would it be beneficial to add sand? I already have live rock in there and Rubble in My hob filter. Question two, this observation tank is...

Disclaimer: This is my quarantine tank I keep all new fish in for four to eight weeks before they go into my 300G FOWLR display tank. The quarantine tank gets four hours of direct sunlight in the morning and four in the afternoon on the other side. I intentionally let the algae grow for my...

So i already have two clowns and a coral beauty in my QT. About to start dosing with coppersafe. Going to bring it up to 2.0-2.5 in 48 hours, i got a Hanna HR checker. But my question is, how shall i do water changes? I know with the 3 of them in a 10 gallon tank, the ammonia will probably...

Hi All, since 3 or 4 days one of my clownfish won’t eat and only swims/lays on the bottom. I noticed that he lost some weight and he won’t eat. The other clown does eat but doesn’t “look” all that healthy. I manage to capture them and put them in my quarantaine system. I figured it’s most...

Anyone know a LFS in Miami that quarantines fish or offers the service? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I got a new clown the other day and put him in my quarantine tank. Tank is a 2 gallon with PVC, heater, and filter with floss and sponge from DT. I’ve noticed the clown seems to be freaking out a bit. He keeps swimming around all over the place and will not eat. I covered the sides of the...
