Quarantine period

Post by millsn » Mon Jul 18, 2011 12:03 pm

Quick question, what's a suitable quarantine period? Before introducing new clowns to my clown population I plan to treat for worms and whitespot in a seperate tank. How long should I leave it after treatment before deciding to move the fish (assuming no ill signs are present)

I QT for at least 4 weeks often up to 6 or 8. If there are any problems, the clock starts over, 4 weeks of health.

Thanks Nancy, that's a bit longer than I would have otherwise done. Duly educated
