SRC Member Indeco Posted July 18, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted July 18, 2020 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.

Jun yan Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Agree with Indeco. It is important to have a quarantine tank ready for new fish, as a prevention of pathogens outbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
