Hello! Iām finally getting around to getting the actual fish tank (36 gallon bow front) because I decided to take more time to think about everything. Iāve finallt confirmed stocking and everything I need. But before I actually get stuff, I want to be prepared to quarantine. Iāll be getting the fish from a few different shops and I donāt want to immediately kill them if they get stressed or sick.
Therefore Iāve come here to ask for help setting up quarantine. I know I need some hiding spots, a filter, and a heater, but I have no clue what size or what material (container, empty aquarium, bucket) would work best for the actual quarantine. The filter size and all the other stuff would then be based off that size. The largest fish that would stay in it would be a honey gourami, and the most active would be a neon tetra. Would 3 gallons work? Or should I look into getting something that could hold 10+ gallons? Itās not for forever, so I donāt think a 30 gallon quarantine would be necessary.
Just figured Iād ask and see what happens.
Thanks!
