quarantine

I am looking for a de-wormer to keep on hand for my new QT tank, because I have heard that you should always treat quarantine fish with de-wormer. Which de-wormer would you recommend and where could I get it? Thank You, Felipe Castellanos

How do you quarantine shrimp? Is there a shortcut (asking this at the risk of getting punched) ? which shrimps do well at 85 F? thanks for your help.

At first I wasn't going to share this story out of pride, but have since changed my mind in the event that it might help someone else in the future. I will say that in the 4-5 years of keeping fish I have never had a quarantine tank for new fish, I would just dump them in with the others and...

So, I picked up some new fish a couple of weeks ago and luckily added them to a quarantine tank to keep an eye on them before putting into established tanks. Low and behold, the fish developed ich and I treated with copper and elevated temps. Unfortunately, the treatment was not sufficient and...

Picked up some fish at the last meeting and have had them in quarantine since. I treated with copper just as a prophylactic. Every thing is looking healthy and I'm anxious to move them to a bigger tank. How long do most of you quarantine fish? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

It's always a challenge to quarantine new straight from the wild fish from Uruguay. They always come down with ich. Hard. And the fish, especially Gymnogeophagus balzanii, are in the shape that you'd expect fish that have been living in buckets on the road would be, need some TLC. Here's...

So, I picked up a group of blue dolphins last weekend at one of our LFS's in this area. When I got home, I was tired and hungry and I stood there in my fishroom asking myself....do I quarantine? do I just throw them in the 55 with the others? they look healthy....they look great....maybe I...

Bought some Victorian haps from Dave through group buy and have had them quarantined since last Friday. Has it been long enough for me to add to established tank? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Is quarantine still good practice when getting fish from a fellow club member and/or a club endorsed vendor? Sent from my iPad using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

For my planted 20 long, I'm thinking a group of about 12 harlequin rasboras, rcs, a couple nerites, and some dwarf cories. Maybe a pair of dwarf gouramis if there's room. I'm taking it slow. I added 3 rasboras last week and they're doing great. I've been working on the tank for about 3 weeks...

Ok, so what do you all do when you get home from a fish show? I always quarantine my purchases, but should I also quarantine my show fish? I want to hear what your preference is and why!

So, I have heard many people here say they use 2.5 or 5 gallon tanks as hospital / fry tanks so I have a couple of questions. When is a fish too far gone to bring back to health? How are you filtering these small tanks? Obviously a aquaclear from a 55 will be too big to move, so how are you...

I have my fish that I bought at the ACA in quarantine tanks. How long should they stay in quarantine? I have 2 L-204 Flash plecos that I bought from Jeff Rapps and some african cichlids(Sunshine Peacocks, Zebra Obliquens and Copadichromis borleyi) from the BABES auction.

I went out and bought a dragon fish from wal-mart and was wondering how long I should quarantine it from my other fish before introducing it into the tank? Can I tell if the fish has a disease immediately or not? I do know a lot about this fish and know how big it can get so I don't want no...

Okay, be honest. The poll does not show how you voted. Do you Quarantine your new fish.
