How to Quarantine and Medicate New Fish 

Wild angels (and Discus) are most beautiful in their natural wild colors. Great info in this video Dan. Thanks for sharing. 😷👍

Dan this has been a very helpful and practical application video. Thank you for being thorough. I actually was able to put this info to work this week😀

Great video 👍! Thank you for sharing and looking forward to seeing the next one! 😀

Awesome video Dan. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge on fish keeping with us. Looking forward to more videos.

I appreciate the long video of your process. It just solidifies my decision to buy from you. I have bought from others in the past and regretted it with sick fish, your fish are always healthy and “fat n sassy”. Keep up the awesome work, will be ordering again soon.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

You are easily my favorite fish monger! I like that you keep it 💯, you don't care if you look goofy or act goofy you just do you. I mean we got a 5 min explanation about a shirt lol that in-depth explanation also goes for education that you give so thank you

Really good information. Really adds next level quality to how you keep fish. Will surely make a purchase soon!

These detailed videos are impressive to watch. Good information for hardcore hobbyists.

Very comprehensive vid. Thank you. Love the angels.

Thanks for sharing your process Dan. Really well explained and I learned a lot. Making me a better fish keeper 👍

Beautiful fish! Love the Spotted head standers. Almost didn’t recognize you without your glasses. 🤓😆

This was great! I'm looking forward to part 2 - I don't mind long videos when the topic is one I'm this interested in. I've heard you speak about your quarantine process many times in livestreams, but there's just nothing like seeing it demonstrated 😎 This video may not be good for your YT analytics, but it should be great for your Getgills store site - have you considered putting a link to this (and pt 2) there? Really loved this!💕💕👍

I only scrubble the front of my tanks too. Nice quarantine process. Very impressive. It's got to be a little frustrating never knowing what and how much of the order will get filled. Thanks for the video. Cheers

I am glad you demonstrated taking safety precautions when handling fish meds. Except for General Cure I have switched to herbal meds from Kordon. Malachite Green is one I especially have concerns about. This is an excellent video for total quarantine procedures.

Nice and very informative.

Love❤ the black marker blackout on the tank 😂

Very informative and influential video..as a fish keeper we should follow the same.

Scrubble is now my new favorite word. Lol.

Shave and a haircut threw me off. 😂 Lots of fun hanging with you in the fish room. Only thing is after all that would have been fun to see them in their “final” homes. Eh, saving something for pt 2.

Thanks for this video! My question is, why treat for parasites after moving tanks, why not treat in the quarantine tank they are already in?

Thank you so much for this great information! Quick question if you have time. You said you use 5 grams per liter of water for the quarantine tanks. That equals almost 19 grams per gallon if I'm correct? Thank seemed like a crazy amount ones I started Weighing it out. I just wanted to verify the amount is correct and if so do you use this method for all fish that come in or do you get some Species that can't handle that much salt?

Beautiful angels. Love the video . What do you use for parasites for scaleless fish and sensitive fish ( silver dollars hatchets ect)?

Love the vid- smart man using facemask to protect your respitory tract... Working with those meds as much as you do, do you think it is also necessary for folks to consider eye protection? Or is that overkill?

CAN YOU USE THOSE MEDS IN FRESHWATER?

Hi Dan, hoping you’ll see this even though it’s an old video! We’re new to the hobby of fish (but have raised an aquatic turtle for 20 yrs so have *some* aquarium experience). Sick of losing fish left and right coming from our LFS, no matter how we chose to quarantine or introduce them to our tanks, and becoming increasingly enamored with your videos and business process, we placed a large order from you last night and are excitedly preparing for their arrival! My question is: when receiving fish from you, who have specifically already been put through the ringer of meds, do you advise or recommend against a second similar round of treatment after they ship to us? I feel like I’ve collected just about every fish med under the sun, but would it be literal overkill to put their little bodies through more meds again in a relatively short amount of time? Do you recommend just an observational qt for fish that come from you? Regardless if you answer or not, I just want to thank you for running a business that is very transparent and seems to genuinely care about each little fish that passes through your hands. I was happy to shell out a bit more (especially for shipping) to buy from a source that puts so much time and thought into their husbandry and shipping process before they even are put up for sale!

Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19

👍

Dan, I noticed that you did not add any tank water into the bags of fish prior to releasing them into the tank. Are you not concerned with differences in water parameters (Ph, hardness, etc)

Very good information. How much hydrogen peroxide would you say you add per gallon or per 10 gallons? I saw where you said half a bottle per each 30 gallon tank. How many millilitres are each bottle? Thanks. I'm gonna treat my new rack with hydrogen peroxide for my 1st step.

Such another great video! I saved this one😊 what kind of ammonia strips do you like to use? I use the master api kit but if I see ammonia I like to have a second test, I treated my tank with Levamisole a couple weeks ago and I think it crashed my cycle, my tank got cloudy and I checked my levels and I have 1.0 maybe even a bit higher, I immediately did a 60% water change, and will do another tomorrow, I also just added api quick start with that large water change, am I on the right track? I added a few days ago carbon to my HOB to clear meds could that spike my Ammonia?

Hi Dan, I'm still a beginner... Why do you use the salt? Is it necessary to use with the antibiotics? Thank you so much for your video! So helpful!

Compressed water, lol.

I can't find anything with nitrofurazone in it. It was one of the most effective meds. Do you have any alternatives?

My Naso Tang was fine when I introduce him into the quartine and after treating (General Cure, Ich X and E. M. E) HE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVLE WORSE AFTER TWO WEEKS...

Quick questions from a newbie here. I've seen people recommending to have CYCLED tanks ready to quarantine and medicate fish. I saw that you sterilized your quarantine tanks and filled them up again with water. I see an air stone and water coming in. My question is: are those tanks cycled already? or are you using water from a cycled aquarium to fill the tanks? I did not see a sponge filter inside those tanks, but again, I have no idea if you have any other type of filtration going on. Could you clarify that for me? I just had to ask to better understand the process. Thanks.

Hey there Dan! Do you still recommend this method when buying fish from you?

Where to purchase furan 2?

So the 17 fish you didn't order but got anyway do you have to actually pay for them? Or will you be credited for them?

That was an in-depth video. Now a question for you, if I buy fish from you will they need a extreme quarantine or just the 2-3 weeks of viewing before adding them to the main aquarium

It's not overkill to wear a mask and gloves. I inhaled perlite while mixing my own soil, and it was nasty. Looks weird as you said, but it protects your lungs and skin.

I just looked this up the other day trying to decide if I really need to spend the money on medicines to quarantine or not. Never quarantined before, never medicated fish (nor had to).

Can you use hydrogen peroxide to sterilize infected sponge filters.

Little talked about and less practiced , quarantine

The peroxide you buy from the drug or bis store is NOT strong enough to "eat through" your clothes. Where ever did you get that idea from?

Dude, you don't need to be so close to the camera.
