Hi eveybody
So my 65g tank is all ready for me to start adding discus.
I was wondering two questions..
First i know you need 5-6 discus per tank for them to be happy and comfortable.
So if one was to aquire 5-6 discus from one source, how would they quarantine them
all seperatley? Who has 5-6 hospital tanks all set up?....
would you keep them all in your main tank together with no other fish for 6 weeks then add
other compatable fish after?
second is my personal scenario.
I purchased one nice healthy 3" discus from a local person in my area.
I have put him in my 30g bare bottom quarantine tank and will be watching him closely.
So how long must i keep him in quarantine before adding him to my main 65g BB tank, seeing that
he will be going into a tank that wont have any other discus in it?
I understand you don't want to add 1 discus to a tank with 5 others before 6 weeks quarantine and transfer an illnes to all your fish.But is the quarantine process the same length of time when its the first fish going into
the main tank.
(note) i 'm 100% planning to have 5-6 discus total.But adding them one at a time as soon as quarantine is
done on each of them.
thanks in advance for the help.
