I currently have two clownfish in my 15 gallon tank and have a new 60 gallon on order due next month.
I want to buy only quarantined fish moving forward since I’ve got a lot of money wrapped up in this tank to hopefully ward off any parasites.
Is there a risk moving my existing clownfish to the new tank that they could be carrying some parasite that could infect the new fish? The new fish are going to have to be shipped to me and I would hate to pay for quarantined fish only to infect them with something already in my tank.
My current clowns have been healthy and eating well, no signs of illness and growing quickly, but I know some fish are more prone to certain diseases. I’m not sure if this concern is warranted but figured I’d ask in case they would need some sort of prophylactic treatment prior to the move.
