FrozenFins Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hello all, I am getting a betta for my shrimp tank but i don't want to quarintine him because my qt tank is a 10gallon, and his permanant tank is 5 gallons. And I don't really like the idea of downsizing him, especially if its a betta that probably hasn't been with other fish, meaning it probably won't have any parasites or deseases. Will invertibrates spead deseases to fish or vis versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roko Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) There is low chance if any that some disease will transfer from shrimp to fish. On other hand snails are known that they can transfer parasites to fish. Quarantine is good idea in case that you need to treat fish you will not be restricted with meds. Because shrimps tolerate meds harder then fish. Edited November 13, 2020 by Roko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
