Hospital Tank

Well I have a sick fish and now I have a hospital tank does anyone have one. Also after your fish is better do you keep it running or start a new one when you get a sick fish...

 

i am just about to set one up today.....i am just taking it down after.

 

It all depends on what was wrong and what medicines you use to cure the fish. I have a hospital/quarantine tank that consists of a 15 gallon, 15 gallons of water and a large sponge filter and nothing else.

I keep it running at all times and when there is fish in it I change water once a week. If I use medicine in it when done I MTY it, wash it out real good and refill it, oh yeah I replace the sponge filter with a new one. Real cheap and easy insurance policy that the next fish I buy wont catch anything from the last inhabitants.

You should quarantine any new fish you buy for a minimum of at least a week or 2

 

I have had this powder blue for 4 days will not eat and looks like i put it in salt with all of the little spots on it i just dont like the idea of it killing over for one reason it cost $70
