qt fish

I know aqua box is out of fish qt. I was just wondering if there were any other people who sell fish that has been qt'd not only conditioned. Thanks

Live Aquaria Divers Den is. They treat for 2 weeks. 4 weeks on Clowns. Not as long as some of the more accepted QT practices but its the safest bet I have found to purchase fish and take the no QT risk.

Just to add another thought. I think there is a HUGE need in the hobby for "pre" QT'd fish. I would pay a much higher premium for this service and hope it catches on. I travel for a living and managing a QT tank is a huge challenge for me.

I liked how aquabox treated for ich and velvet etc. DD has been hit or miss for me. I would definitely still treat my fish from la.

Do you have a link for aquabox? I don't think I have ever heard of them?

I have received several fish from DD with velvet and ich.

Treat all fish.

@Humblefish some day will have fish you describe (soon hopefully)

Was this a business or something he was just doing from home? How much more money was the fish? I seriously think about this being a very viable business.
