[fish-rookie]

Just a quick question guys... How long do you quarantine your new fish for before you place them in a community tank?

Many thanks

I'd say a week. Just observed it within a week, if it is eat ok and doing its fishy business, then I'd acclimate it to your main tank. But ull prob have to keep them in there another 2 weeks or so if you think something is fishy ^^.

2-4 weeks from last symptom

for a healthy fish no more than 1 week 2 weeks is normally enough

2 weeks from a known source, 4 weeks or more from an unknown source.
