The store is claiming that they did research that suggest that the lifecycle of Brooke is seven days and as such, that’s all that they need to quarantine and go fallow for. For obvious reasons I am skeptic of this and I’ve asked them why they are only doing seven days versus longer. The new employee that took over their quarantine process is actually one of the only ones I trust, but I know he is getting pressure from his supervisors and owner to get their display floor back open.
My other concern is that if I try to set up a quarantine tank, I will inevitably tick off my fiancé who is already an annoyed enough about all the time I’ve been putting into the tank since this issue arose….. she hasn’t married me yet so I still gotta keep her happy lol. What is the shortest quarantine period where the tank is left fallow that you could recommend? Maybe I let the store treat them with the proper medication for one week and then quarantine them in a separate tank at my house for the remainder and just try to beg the fiancé not to hate me?
I’ve also read through some of your other posts where you’ve commented about the treatment for Brook, and noted that you were cautious about formalin inside homes. I currently live in a relatively small townhouse with two dogs, so I’m cautious about that as well
