Hi,
After a recent velvet outbreak, I’ve been left with no fish in my fluval 13.5 except my red firefish. Obviously, I need to move him for my tank to go fallow. He’s not sick or anything, but certainly can’t stay in the infected water. So I set up a quarantine tank.
It’s not much, just a 10 gallon with an air stone, a heater, and some old decor, but it’ll do the trick. However, I know how timid and sensitive firefish can be. I’m worried that although alive now, the transplant could potentially kill him. How do I go about acclimating him, especially in a tank that’s not very established and has not much filtration or bacteria? What should be my process of quarantining him in the coming weeks?
