Quarantinig Goby/wrasse

Hello everyone,

If I have bare bottom QT tank, how do I qt goby and wrasse? they need sand, dont' they? I guess a bowl/container with sand?

 

What kind of goby and what kind of wrasse? And only QT one fish at a time IMO.

 

Im planning all kind of Goby and Some "safe" wrasse. They're for 180 DT

 

Oh ok, well you will be fine doing a bare bottom QT for any Goby except for the sand sifting (Valenciennea family). These need an established sandbed to sift through all day long. I actually used a 46BF complete with live rock, 2-3" sandbed, skimmer, 4 powerheads, etc to QT most of my fish including a Tiger Wardi Goby.

For the wrasses, pretty much the same deal in that if it is a species that sleeps in the sandbed, you will need to have sand for it of course. I am not sure if just having a bowl with sand will work or not; another more experienced member would need to chime in. Otherwise, other wrasses will be fine in a barebottom as long as you can keep up with their dietary needs. Quite a few spend all day hunting pods, so you will need to feed them at least a couple times a day to keep them fat and happy.

 

No more experience needed; perfect answer. A separate container with sand is fine.
