View Full Version : acclimation of SW fishy's
How long would you quarantine new arrivals to your tank? What additives would help with the quarantine or is it best to allow the water to remain untreated?

What fish are we talking about here? Many fish will have different quarantine options. I would say the average amount of time would be 2-4 weeks in the Q- tank, before adding it to the show tank :-)

I can never seem to wait that long. I only give it a week.

that's a good question, and one that gets a variety of answers...
personally, i think 2 weeks is a sufficient amount of time...that is if you have a healthy fish...if the fish shows signs of disease, the amount of time in a Qtank might increase.
take a look at some of these threads...
