Does Captive bred ever mean disease free?

[TheKylersFire]

Here’s a question I have. Please chime in.

I’m guessing the large or well known captive bred companies like ORA and Biota do everything they can to keep disease free and sterile breeding and holding tanks. Assuming this is true does anyone know of online resellers that keep their fish from ORA or Biota (or any other breeder) in clean disease free systems only? My LFS doesn’t get a ton but when he does get them they go right into the same systems as wild caught fish. If it’s truly bred in a disease free tank then the resellers hold it in a similar system we wouldn’t have to do a preventative quarantine. Has anyone been Down this path?

It is disease free when it leave the breeder. Then whatever happen en-route happened.

Are there any resellers promoting or pushing that they keep these in clean tanks?

I’d imagine they’re far less likely to come with diseases unless you have a crappy LFS / wholesaler. Overall still better than a lot of species when they’re wild-caught.

My LFS does not mix water between tanks and keeps captive bred fish in separate tanks.

I've asked that question to live aquaria and they said they do keep the stock from captive bred places like Biota and ORA in separate systems.

Some stores specifically say they keep them separate. I have only bought straight from the source (LIveaquaria-ORA) with no issues. Some also claim to only sell captive bred, like Pacific East, so no wild in systems.
If it is not specified, I stay away or expect to qt.
