Is there any advantage to heating a quarantine tank above levels generally needed for fish?
For instance if fish do fine at 72, is there any advantage to keeping the tank at 80 if its something they tolerate?
I wasn't sure if heat plays a factor in all disease prevention or treatment, or if its only recommended for some. I think I heard it can speed up the life cycle of certain parasites, but wasn't sure how it affected viral or bacterial infections.
Anything else people recommend for maintaining a quarantine tank?
