Hi all,
I’m looking to bring home some 20 fish from a running and mature tank. The hobbyist is moving and can’t bring his fish with him.
My question is, should I treat all these fish the same as individual fish I bring home from the store? Which means following the quarantine protocol. Or should I treat them as a healthy group of fish and put them straight into a tank?
My gut feeling tells me to quarantine as I would with any new fish. But on the other hand it could stress out fish that have been healthy and thriving together for years.
What would you do?
