Hi all,
I purchase new fish from the LFS and online. In the past I'd receive them, acclimate to water temp in my main tank and then dump them in. However I've been reading that this is not the best practice and that new fish should be quarantined and treated before introducing to the main tank. What are your thoughts?
1) Should new fish be quarantined and if so for how long
2) If I quarantine should I preemptively medicate/treat for worms, infections, illness and other
3) If so what are some good products to use "General Cure" was one that i've seen on some threads
Any other thoughts, comments or idea are welcome.
Thanks
