Does this quarantine routine sound like a good one? It is a LFS, which would be nice to use instead of online ordering
When our fish arrive they start with a freshwater dip, this helps to remove unwanted hitchhikers on the fish. From there we match the salinity and temperature in our acclimation containers to the water they arrived in. We start the drip acclimation process to bring the salinity up to our systems level. During this process the fish are treated with Formalin. Once the water reaches the proper salinity they are moved into our quarantine system where they are treated with Copper and Chloroquine Phosphate during the quarantine period. Additionally we add medication for internal parasites to their food. Once fish complete this process they are then moved out to our for sale tanks. Then our entire quarantine system is torn down, disinfected and started over to get ready for the next batch of fish. Why do all this? Our commitment is to provide the healthiest fish in the area.
