A MUST FOR SURVIVAL!
When giving solutions to the complaint of the aquarist who wrote last week about constant fish death he encounters when he purchases a new fish, my last sentence was: Is my fish quarantined?
In my experience so far with fish keepers i am aware that many beginners are non-chalant towards this word. Yet,it is one big singular factor that must be observed strictly before you cab be sure that your new fish is in good health and not an apostle of doom for other inmates.
For the benefit of intending aquarists,quarantine in the fish world refers to the physical and chemical treatment of new fishes(either imported or caught from the wild) to rid them of diseases and restlessness before introduction into a new environment.
A small quarantine tank is advisable for any serious aquarist. The alternative is to be sure that your pet shop has a functional quarantine section. This is a sure guarantee against fish deaths.
