Hi guys, I need to know your setup of quarantine tanks. I do not need a quarantine at the moment nor do I plan buying new fish in near future, but with the already pruchased final fish coming on monday, if one would be sick, I have no place except 3l bottle or a bucket, where to apply medicine, if I didnt want to go whole tank (and with snails and shrimp I do not want that).
Though all my fish are small, 5cm is max size I think, so in theory a 10l should be enough, I would like this tank to perhaps one day be a breeding tank for either tetra or corydoras or hatchetfish or whatever, if it will work, so the size should be 20l
However I do not see myself running an empty tank without light, or with light and some plants, filter and no substrate. I can so see myself putting some snail or something in there, and maybe this small thing to be perhaps moved later or so...so that would be like a normal tank, except could be turned into a quarantine/health/breeding tank.
Is that feeisible approach? how do you do it? or do you keep like a plastic box/empty fishtank at home and have a spare sponge in one of your running tunks to be used at a moments notice?
