do you quarantine your new additions?

[CM125]

Just want to know how many people quarantine their fish, please also comment with your survival rate and where you purchase from.

Quarantine? No
Survival rate? 100%
Bought from? Everywhere

Float 10-15mins is all

I do tank transfer, have not lost a fish due to this method yet and have been doing that for a few years.

Good to see others that just put them in, I don't feel as bad lol. I would say its more like 90% survival for me though, although I don't think it was anything we did.

I did this for years, then one day I did what i always did, in 3 days complete tank wipe out and 6 week fallow.

Never ever again.

I guess you dice with the dark side one day you will get burnt. I did, and I know when I mentioned this on RC the thread was full of same stories. I just dont take risks like that now

Same. I was very much against QT until I lost all my fish. Twice. Everything now goes in a separate QT.

but trying to use Coral Rx now

[Ryanerickson]

You dip your fish in coral rx?
I have never quarenteened anything thought about it with my achilles but too much work removing fish outta three tanks. there all tied together plus would need 3 tanks to quarenteen then all in. I know I'm playing with fire but never had a issue other then short term ich breakouts that have always for the most part gone away with no deaths.
