My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Assume all shipped fish have something especially shipped and subject to ammonia in the water, temperature change and others. They as quarantined have left facility free of disease (at least assumed). If quarantined, you can do a 2 week quarantine but better safe than regretfulWhat if my tank already have velvet and ick ? my previous purchase from online , they helped me hold a few weeks and quarantined fish already . Todays petco fish is not quarantined. Dispute I called quality marine . They claimed they have strict quarantine process before ship out . not sure how much I believe it.
last time velvet episode are because my tank was still new . My tank maintenance guy brought some fish from someone’s private home . Told me no need to quarantine since it’s not from store . ended up those fish from someone’s home carries velvet . I am sure if someone take fish from my tank might cause velvet outbreak too because it’s already in my system and I can’t treat the tank because of the corals .
