my 2 cents. Keep your quarantine tank as small as is reasonable. Meds go in based on water volume. It gets very expensive medicating fish in a large tank! Great video!

Good point! And thanks!

I too am an opportunistic eater. LOL. Good advice. My humpback dragon puffer really appreciates a good cull. It's the circle of life.

He’s absolutely right about quarantining. I’ve just HAD to have a Petco fish before without a quarantine tank at home, and to say that I made a ton of more work for myself is putting it mildly. But it’s better than losing an entire tank or fish room. It might not happen EVERY time, but always quarantine so you don’t have to worry.

Yea I’m an idiot lost 9 guppies already and only have two left with 5 babies also, so now I’ve medicated the tank cause I did notice some fin rot hopefully I can pull through losing fish.

Sorry for your loss. Fin rot is from poor water quality most likely.

Do you have a Guppy quarantine vid❓ Just wondering about temp.

@MichaelsFishRoom

2 ай бұрын

Yup, search “”quarantine” on my channel.

As someone already stated a small tank is best for QT tanks(in case you have to or want to medicate). Note that a qt tank does not actually have to be a tank - you can even use a bucket or a Sterlite tub/container they sell at Dollar General . I suggest always running an extra sponge filter in an established tank so you always have one ready for when you do have to set up a QT tank (if you are not buying fish all the time then there is no need to have a QT tank up and running all the time) - Just my comments for the algorithm - Have a nice day

Other than a fish from the puffer family, what other predatory/omnivore freshwater fish do people recommend to deal with culls (fry and adult sized) ? I've thought about having guppies again but I usually tend to have planted tanks and generally have a lot of survivors in my colony tanks.

@@MichaelsFishRoom Flowerhorns are adorable, but they get really big. I remember the tank you had yours in. I'm still floating the idea about getting back into guppies, I had a strain I bred for 10 years and then we had a winter storm a few years back, lost power for 2 weeks and that was the end of my strain. I had so many tanks at that time too...sigh!

How do you like the new fishroom lay out as compared to the old one?

@bassamnijem4848 Check your thermometer and your heater and make sure both are working. My fish almost cooked to death when my heater broke. My thermometer wasn't working either. So don't trust yours. Double check it with a different thermometer.
