Local Quarantined fish for sale

[bradt24]

Good afternoon,

Does anybody know of a local store/individual who sells quarantined fish to the standard set forth by humblefish?

I am aware there are online retailers there like Divers Den, but was curious if there is something out there more local.

Or, is there an individual interested and capable of doing this for myself and maybe others?

Soon to break ground on a new 120.

Thanks!

Only place I know of is , limited edition corals. It's where I get all my fish from, mostly.

I know the staff pretty well there and, have seen there quarantine area. They hold all their fish for 1 week in quarantine before they will sell them. I have never had any problems with there fish or inverts. Everyone I have ever gotten from them is still alive in my tank some for a few years now.

Only 1 I did lose from them.was a sweetlips, but it was my tanks fault for the loss not their, I did not know how shy and timid that fish is at feeding time and it basically starved to death, since the other fish were more food aggressive then he was.

I came across Zona Aquatics (https://zonaaquatics.com/our-story). Their price is a little more expensive, but they quarantine for 30 days.

I like LE a lot, and it’s probably my most frequented LFS, but their QT isn’t really and quarantine. They run them in copper, and keep the fish in hypo-salinity. To me, that covers up more issues, than it treats.

Reading a bit more, Zona’s QT protocols are very similar to Humblefish.
