Quarantine Tank

[sic0198]

I need some info about an uncycled quarantine take. I have some fish (an angelfish, an australian rainbowfish, black skirt tail, 2 scissortails, a 2 albino cories). I need to quarantine 'em badly as they have ICk. It'd just be for until I can get 'em better. What's the word on moving 'em to uncycled quarintine tanks.

Hi,

The best thing to do is to move some of your filter media over to the filter on the quarantine tank.

How many fish do you have in the tank altogether? Do they all have Ich?

Do you know why you got Ich? Do you know your water stats? Ammonia? Nitrite? Nitrate? pH?

Cheers

BTT

If you just bought these, then yes - got for quarantine ... but if they developed it in the "main" tank, then the whole tank will need treating, so best leave them where they are !
