bottomdweller_fan Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I was wondering what the average time is that people keep their fish in quarantine after treating them for parasites, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I quarentine all new fish for atleast 3 weeks, whether I treat them as a preventative or not. If the fish get sick during this time, the 3 weeks starts again after the illness has been treated. I dont' want any sick fish transfering anything to my tanks just because I was impatient.

happeboy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 wow! I guess I really under do it. I go for a week new or after treating and they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrandpoohbah Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 4 weeks, no less. If any fish show signs of disease then the tank gets treated and, as degrassi stated, the 4 week period starts over once the fish look healthy again.

Thats exactly what I do sometimes 5 weeks after looking healthy better to be safe than sorry. Well either that or I'm just anal :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 To be honest, I QT all new fish I get except those that come from Gold's. I have never had a single issue with any of their fish yet. But I finally have some spare tanks kicking around that I have to avoid at all costs in not turning them into anything lol.
