Quarantining

[kevinthecow]

I would like a q/h. Im stuck with a 29g tank, betta bowl, and a 4.6tank. Im not sure if my fish would wanna cram in there if theres a disease of such, or a fish is being bullied.

Q/H's are used to treat fishes w/o spreading the disease. Also helps if you have to do a full 100% water change.

The 4.6 gallon would make a good hospital tank - if you have to overstock it at any given time, you can use ammonia absorbing filter media like zeolite. For general use, these are inferior to free biological filtration (not to mention it would get expensive quick), but in a temporary pinch, they can ensure 0 ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in a Q/H tank. A 10 gallon bare tank, heater, and cheap HOB filter can be had for a song, particularly if you look for used equipment, and is a great quarantine tank.
