Hi,

We have all been taught that when new fishes or corals are to be included into the tank. That we should not allow the water in the transport bag (from LFS) to be poured into the display tank.

Main reason is to prevent introducing any possible free floating parasites into your tank.

But what about those live Copepods and Mysis Shrimps that are available from the LFS? How do we go about separating the pods/Mysis from the water, without killing them?

Its ridiculous to quarantine them right?

Appreciate if experienced reefers could give some advise.

Thanks.

Thanks Rudy, David,

If the pack contains much more pods or Mysis than the fishes can finish in one feed, is it advisable to still pour all in?

Would they survive in the tank considering they are not acclimated and thus will likely die shortly, thus fouling the tank. Or would they survive?

What's the normal practise?

Mine is just a 10G nano tank.

ah, we have a similar set up. the normal practise would be to use only what you need and put the rest in the refridgerator. pods should survive, if they are not eaten by the fishes, without acclimating. considering their size, i doubt they would be able to foul the tank

consider having a small hang-on refugium, place some chaetos, dump the pods in and let them breed. you'll never have to replace them again unless you have tons of pods-eating fish. :thumbsup:

Moorish Idol has to be the most beautiful fish ever! :thumbsup:

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      I never thought I'd see a penny of my stolen bitcoin again. I had invested over $150,000 in bitcoin back when it was still relatively new and unknown. As the price skyrocketed over the years, my investment grew to be worth over $400,000. One day I went to check my wallet and to my horror, the entire balance had been transferred out. My heart sank realizing all those years of watching my investment grow had been wiped away in an instant by some hacker. I frantically searched online for any way to recover stolen cryptocurrency. Most advice said there was nothing I could do if the thief took proper precautions with the private keys. Then I came across Wizard web recovery - a new web service that claims to use advanced statistical analysis to track stolen bitcoin as it gets passed around different wallets. I was skeptical but filled out their online form, explaining when and how my bitcoin was stolen. A few days later I received an email from a Wizard web recovery analyst. They had traced my stolen bitcoin to a popular exchange where the thief had cashed out. By contacting the exchange, they were able to recover my bitcoin! I was stunned. I truly never thought I'd see that money again. Thanks to Wizard web recovery brilliant web tracking, I got back every last satoshi of my $150,000 in stolen bitcoin. It was an incredible feeling to have what I thought was lost forever returned in the blink of an eye by these blockchain recovery specialists via: wizard web recovery (@) programmer(.) net
