Fowlr crashing

[simwj]

Just sounding out here.. 

Jumped into this hobby last year Dec.. 5 ft fowlr tank. Already faced with 3 crashes.. First 2 due to severe ich/velvet. Most recently Brook. 

How do people dump in without QT and still manage to go that far?

Fowlr tank you meant

If don't do QT, crushing is just a matter of time only.

Nowdays velvet and fluke is getting more common on the fish.

Another way is u go LFS that never use any medication on their fish, then only buy fish that is kept at least a 1 week in their store.

I believe those LFS will be more careful at handling their fish since they not using any medication.

This can reduce the chance of u getting fish with Velvet and Fluke but not 100% as their shipment coming in weekly.

Reason for not going to LFS that have medication is because most of the time their medicine is not at therapeutic level so those fish with symptoms is suppressed temporary.

After buy home then the symptoms start to come back.

Hope this help.

Agree with Indeco. It is important to have a quarantine tank ready for new fish, as a prevention of pathogens outbreak.

Better quarantine before u keep any fishes.. i have numerous crashes within 5 years..
