Kelly Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 if you absolutely and positively have no room for a quarantine tank (for example a school dorm) what can you do to keep your losses at a minimum? 20 gal tank. Planning on 8 scooling fish, a betta, 2 nerite snails, a few algae eaters and maybe red shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If you had no room for this: If all your fish and other invertebrates all went in at or near the same time, then presto! That one tank is the quarantine tank. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Get a small clear tub with a lid, pop in an air stone and you’re good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thank you. I'm thinking the same thing. Especially if I get them all at the same place. It is not a huge investment and I don't plan on adding fish after my initial purchase nor am I interested in breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Ellison Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 20 gallons also isn't a super huge burden for meds only double what a lot of people do in a 10g. I'd treat them with med trio when u get em. Then u should be golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Sounds good ill try it. Do you have to do anything to clear out those meds later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 15 gallon plastic tub intentionally, to avoid MTS. The only additional advice I'd add to yours, is that I keep a few small cichdlid caves, and 10 or so fake plants for everyone to hide in (no substrate).
