Machete Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I just noticed one of my otos has a fungal infection and red gills. I´m running to the store to get a quarantine tank and some medicine. Is a 5 gtalon tank enough for this? I only have small fish. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It will work, most of us use 10g because the meds are in 10gallon sachets. It is easier than dividing the dose. When I need to dose just 5g, I just dump the whole thing onto a folded paper and cut into 2 lines...like they do in the movies, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 @James Black @Brandy how do you set up a quarantine tank quickly? I don't have one yet and truthfully/foolishly thought I don't need anything like that. 🤦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people will just put the hole filter in one of their pre-cycled tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
