How do you quarantine Your fish?
UPON RECEIVING THE FISH
Once we receive the fish from the Wholesaler we give them a look over to make sure there aren’t any fish that need immediate attention. We then float the bags to match the temperature and double-check that the salinity of the tanks matches.
Into Medication
Fish that look healthy and ready to be treated go into a 14 day Copper Power or Chloroquine treatment. These levels stay at 2.35-2.50 and 60 mg/gal respectively. We also treat all fish in Copper Power with 10 Days of formalin treatments along with 2 Praziquantel and/or Fenbendazole treatments 6 days apart.
Moving Day
Once completed with the 14-day treatment all fish get transferred into clean observation tanks. We have made these tanks with the thought of getting them back into their normal environment so they can relax. We include Rocks and Sand in every tank. We also feed well so they can gain some weight at this stage.
Medicated Food
Being back in a fresh clean tank we start to feed all fish Medicated food laced with Metronidazole and Fenbendazole to address any internal parasites and/or worms. They will continue this diet once a day for 10 Days. During this time we watch to make sure everything is looking good to go.
Ready To Go
After the 4 weeks of treatment in the spa, we are ready to let the fish go to their forever tanks. As much as we will miss these little guys we know we can’t keep them all. Of course, that is where you come in, adopting these guys to live a long healthy life in your small slice of the ocean.
