Any lfs can have fish parasites, especially if they are selling wild-caught critters. Whether from a dirty petco or a five-star aquarium store, new fish should always go through quarantine. You just never know.Ok thank you if anyone lives in the la area my lfs is called marks tropical fish I love that store but do you guys think that the parasites could be from them?
The thing is, you are essentially keeping an mini ocean in a box. The ocean has the same parasites, but it’s not an enclosed Petri dish where the parasites have a chance to multiply.
