Adopting fish
This week we adopted a half dozen nice goldfish from a neighbor. It seemed a lot of work to isolate them, so we poped them in. Her pond had been healthy for a decade. Risky...probably.
Anyone have really good ideas about quck quarantine? |

Anyone have really good ideas about quck quarantine? Quick quarantine? None exist. One is probably safer from an established pond than coming from a pet shop or dealer. Regardless, the biggest risk in such a situation is how their immunity stands up to the buggies in your pond and same with your current fish to whatever the new recruits bring in. A salt dip of the newbies probably wouldn't have hurt. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
