Quarantine supplied fish UK

[Marcashleydavies]

Hi, I am new to the hobby and have watched numerous hours of youtube videos. I am looking for a supplier of pre quarantined fish prior to introducing them to my tank. I can't find any companies or hobbyists that provide this service in the UK. I am a complete novice and not comfortable with trying to use medication to quarantine myself. I am happy to pay the additional cost for fish if they have been through a medicated quarantine process.

Any help is much appreciated, Thank you .

You might research/think about the TTM method. A new 36 hr version rids to fish of both velvet and ich. It is simple to dose prazi pro for parasites once or 2x while doing this

Masterfisch.co.uk are very good but there based in France and in the last few days have temporarily suspended shipments to the UK because of brexit.

I had my last order last week.

Ive purchased loads of corals and fish for my new big tank and they are very good, no issues.

Ive just tried the web site and it wasn’t responding so just keep checking it.

And Welcome to R2 as well!

Do they quarantine all their fish or is this an optional extra?

Thanks

I don’t QT and never have because after making my own enquiries and checks I trust the suppliers, including LFS, and am more than happy with everything they’ve supplied so far. If ever I get a DOA you just send a picture and get an immediate refund, but that rarely happens.

They ship via UPS next day delivery for livestock

Tropical marine has a very good acclimation process with heavy UVC for their tank water. At least You dont risk the external parasites like Oodinium or Brooklynella.

In my opinion you need to find a good LFS (local fish shop), I use Southwest Marines in Bristol and as above they get a lot of livestock from TMC.
The last time a fish sees a net is at my lfs, I trust their water completely, fish system and coral system, fish get acclimatised with the bag floating and adding half cups of water, the bag is slowly upended and the fish swim out.
The USA appear to have more disease problems than we do in the UK and Europe.
