Hi my question is quarantine cuc members
Shrimp/snails/hermits etc or do not ?
I have just finished cycling my qt tank which is 54 litres which is roughly 15 us gallons i believe and going to do 100%water change and add fish shortly.
Main dt tank close to finishing cycling.
And will qt all fish that i get and later down line will be buying another small tank to qt corals.
Some believe it not nessesary to qt fish or corals which is cool but i would like to be as careful as i can not to introduce anything that i dont want in dt and have major headache trying to get rid of some persisent hard as nails pest etc.but just little confused on should i qt cuc members or not but then thinking if dont qt everything that goes into dt then qt 90% and introduce 0 pests but dont qt cuc members then introduce some fish parasite and all other qt just pointless ( to some degree)
Pros=observe and see if any parasite /tomments i think they called are attached or undesrible algae on snail shells etc.
Cons=to much stress on the cuc members and may perish.
Low %chance of introducing undesribles into display tank so pointless to quarantine cuc.
So any thoughts would be appreciated and hello all and hope your day going good for you ^_^
