For real??The best customer service in the industry.
It seems like from all the information I'm gathering you are not wise to not quarantine is a small 29g tank sufficient for this?Ordered 8 fish the past two months. Two healthy, one doa, one brooklynella, one disappeared and three currently in qt. I would not under any circumstance add to a tank without qt first unless you like playing russian roulette with a loaded gun.
Depending on the fish you could get away with much smaller. I prefer using a 10g and 20g tank for this purpose.It seems like from all the information I'm gathering you are not wise to not quarantine is a small 29g tank sufficient for this?

I didn't realise any of this thank you for raising my awareness!!Liveaquaria is fantastic in my opinion, but be aware of what they are. Their main site is simply a way for you to order fish directly from a wholesaler. A Liveaquaria employee goes to the wholesalter, packages your fish, and ships it in a LA box. These fish will have undergone no observation and no treatments. They are also going to ship in water with a salinity around 1.015. I highly recommend having a QT system set up both to watch and treat for illness and to have a chance to slowly raise salinity.
They also have a Divers Den section which are fish actually in their care that they have performed fairly decent observation and treatment. Its not perfect, but you are much more likely to get healthier fish.
Customer service is absolutely top notch.
How and in what increments should the salinity be raised?Liveaquaria is fantastic in my opinion, but be aware of what they are.

I do it very conservatively at around 0.001 per day but you can probably do up to 0.003 per day without stressing the fish to much.How and in what increments should the salinity be raised?
K will do! Thank you so much again!I do it very conservatively at around 0.001 per day but you can probably do up to 0.003 per day without stressing the fish to much.
