Still QT pre-quarantined fish?

[bevo5]

I’m considering going with some pre-quarantined fish from one of the sources people here seem to like. Not sure which yet.

Just a question for those who have done that. Did y’all still qt the fish? Maybe not with meds, but did you set them aside for a bit?

The reason I ask is because I’d like to order a good number of fish at once to maximize the shipping - but I only have a 30g qt, which clearly can’t Hold too many fish.

These would be the first fish in a new tank.

Yes. keep them in a separate tub for observation. 27 gallon totes are like 10 bucks at Home Depot. I would set up more than one to minimize any issues.

I would say that if you're getting it from: Humblefish Aquatics LLC:

A forum for my business. Humblefish Aquatics sells quarantined, conditioned fish.

Then you don't need to at all. Here's an unboxing of one of the buyers:

Just got done unboxing my second @Humblefish Aquatics shipment and figured I'd share the experience. It was just me at home, so not able to capture it on video, but I did get some pictures all the way through. TL;DR - Everything went great and the new fish kids are VERY healthy, happy, and safe...

You can read through his process. I wouldn't trust anyone else, in my ring of knowledge, just yet.

Haven’t sorted that out yet. I definitely prefer humble but all depends on what he has available. Marine collectors is another vendor I’ve looked into.
