Now that you have made the prudent and wise decision to quarantine your fish, you need to decide if you will treat your fish prophylactically (before symptoms) or when and if symptoms appear along with the medications required, depending on the condition of your fish.
Now that you have your quarantine tank set up, fish acclimatised, and armed with a range of medication, you might wonder how long do you need to quarantine your fish?
Have you decided that you want to go ahead and quarantine your marine fish or crabs and shrimp? Good idea! Luckily, a quarantine tank is cheap and easy to set up.
separating the sick from the non-sick is the only way to ensure for sure that those who are not sick do not catch disease. It may be unpleasant and annoying to quarantine fish, but you will be rewarded with healthy and happy fish looking great in your display tank for years to come!
