Fish Fanatic
Okay, all the expert advice is that we should never put a new fish straight into a tank that already has fish in it. We are supposed to protect our existing fish, by keeping new fish in a separate, quarantine tank, for 2 or 3 weeks, to watch for and treat any possible diseases.
I'm just curious how many people actually quarantine their new fish. I don't, because I'm just getting back into fish keeping, and have only the one, established tank so far. BUT.....I just bought another tank yesterday (15 gallon). It will be used for a quarantine tank for new fish, and a hospital tank when not in quarantine duty.
