Hello all.
While I wait for my new tank to grow in and cycle, I would like to set up a quarantine tank in preparation for future fish introductions.
I will be keeping all nano size fish in a 186L heavily planted tank.
I plan to add 20 Green Neons directly to the main tank as the first occupants then gradually add the rest of the fish using the quarantine tank.
The largest load on the quarantine tank will be 10 Chili Rasbora that will be added a few weeks after the Neons.
The rest of the occupants will be added as groups of three or singly.
Some questions if I may.
Would a 10 Gallon tank be a sufficient size?
What sort of filter should be used?
What are the most common disease or illnesses encountered when purchasing new fish?
What treatments should I purchase in advance?
What do you dose the quarantine tank with even if the fish looks healthy?
Any feedback and tips are most welcome 🙏
Edit: There is a basic setup 54L tank on Amazon for £75. Would this be suitable do you think?
