DerrickLim Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi fellow hobbyist, May I know which LFS will properly quarantine their fish b4 selling? Quarantine as in provide treatment for the common diseases and ensure they eat well. I only buy from bac so far. His fish is healthy but not much angels. I am planning to have angels and tangs in my new tank. Prefer to start with pest free fish. If not convenient to post here, feel free to pm me.

SRC Member mafacifa Posted February 5, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 Never heard of LFS quarantine fish before. Recently bought some fancy clowns. Was told they are fine for a week. Dropped to tank next two days got infected and died. Other clowns in tanks n fishes also wiped out soon after. Lessons learnt is to quarantine own self and not trust lfs. Not saying that they are bad but each party has different objective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeneryx Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Been buying fish so many years, only know ah bac does that. the rest no. It's only a difference of handling of the livestock. And no, the one u talking in bukit merah which I've been visiting since balestier days, does not quarantine fishes. putting them in isolation boxes or display tank and trying to feed is not quarantine.

SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted February 8, 2016 SRC Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2016 Some of the establish lfs started to QT their fishes but having do so also increase the cost . I am not trying to help any lfs but it's true that the longer the lfs have to hold the fish for sales during the QT period the lesser the chance of them to sell of the fish faster and higher chances of fish die during the holding period which result in higher cost of their fish shipment. Having a dedicated section to QT the fish also mean extra space needed , daily fish foods for the fishes as well. Therefore it is still advisable to QT our new fish from the shop .

julius Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 A few LFS do treat their fish before selling. All these LFS just add yellow medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Iwarna systems mostly coppered. Prevents ich or velvet outbreaks. We can quarantine for buyer up to 2 weeks but payment must be made beforehand and we cannot be held responsible if fish die during QT (same like how hospitals cannot guarantee all patients survive). To QT beyond 2 weeks there are additional charges as we have limited holding capacity. Just check out most of the Achilles tangs Iwarna has in stock now, no white spot and eating pellet already. Most QT fish priced a little higher for obvious reasons, besides paying for the fish you are also buying insurance against diseases that can potentially wipe out all your livestock.

DerrickLim Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 For me personally, I don't mind paying a premium for a truly quarantined fish that is reasonably free of parasites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
