Hi all,
I've got a small 25L tank to use as a quarantine tank that i have used in the past as a hospital tank. I haven't quarantined fish before but because of the reasons for needing a hospital tank i think It's asfer for me to do so!
How long should the fish be in there before i add them into the main tank?
Should i treat these fish with any medications while they're in there?
Do i put anything in the tank or leave it bare?
Also, for the tank i have a small filter with a sponge in it, the sponge has a cut out on the inside of it that i put some media in (standard Fluval ceramic rings) from my FX4. It can only fit about 5 rings in it so would that be enough for the tank to be stable? I was going to cut the foam in half to fit more in but i think the rings need to be kept in the dark? I'm sure I've read that somewhere before????
Any other tips would be great
Cheers
James
