So I've been trying to get my head around quarantine and just wanted to check my understanding. The basic premise is...

You isolate a new fish for a period of time long enough for any common pathogens that it may be incubating to become visible AND then introduce a hero fish to cross-infect both fishes with each other's resident micro-organisms, to check these are unlikely to overwhelm the immune systems of all the other fishes. Is this correct? Or put another way...
