me. I think the advice on quarantining is safest, cover all contingencies, be prepared, worst case type of stuff. There are always horror stories of a whole pond going fins up after a new fish is introduced. How many people test a skin product on a small patch of skin for 24 hours? Nah, most of us slather whatever it is on and d*mn the consequences. The ones who break out in purple and green spots are more likely to quarantine their fish. ;-) k30a |

BV, DOOR #4- Not Quarantined and no other lost fish, but I have lost
newly purchased fish. Quarantine seems to me to be adding more stress to the new fish. I guess it is a matter of how much risk you are willing to take and how much you trust your supplier.

It seems, if I quarantine, the fish are fine. If I don't, they give the other fish something like ick.

I mean every square inch of the fish was covered. fish was dead. got em out and didnt lose any of those fish in the tank. was I LUCKY. ...not quarantined them, and lost them due to disease? ... oh yeah. I would buy 5 or 6 fish, put em in a tank and they would drop off. this was in first few years. I quit buying fish from pet stores after this.

Quarintine? Reality?
the fish is at the supplier. how long did they quarantine the fish? then they bag
the fish up, you drag it home and it is stressed from the move. stressed fish lose control over their parasite load, they shed the parasites into the water. they may be immune, but the fish already in the pond may not have been in contact with that particular parasite and their immunity has declined. so it is more likely the new fish will survive, the existing fish get sick and/or die. I dont quarantine new fish in a small tank. I quarantine them in a large stock tank where I keep the water pristine. I can easily net them to treat them, I can treat that tank and do the necessary water changes, and I can boost the temp on that tank up to 84oF to see if any of the heat activated cooties "come out". Jan even keeps an indicator fish in that quarantine tank, so if they shed something deadly the indicator fish bellies up.. .not the whole pond full of fish. The other fish also does help calm a single fish. You must not have been on this list the last few years when people just tossed new fish into their ponds and had the entire pond full of fish die. It is an easily avoidable horror. I am very short on sympathy for people who dont quarantine. Ingrid "Hank Pagel" wrote: Quarantine seems to me to be adding more stress to the new fish.

Quarintine? Reality?
doesnt matter. you have no idea what parasites they are carrying. do you even ask
how long those fish have been in quarantine, or IF they have been in quarantine at the store? fish are easy to quarantine. why risk it? you got room for a pond, you got room for a 100 gallon stock tank.

I've never had the luxuries of a second tank w/ the same water parameters, and filtration. The only "problems" I've had is a few losses with a few feeders in a dozen from the store. And at $1.50 per dozen... Now if I had some fish that I valued, and was able to keep them for more than a winter or two, I might feel different. But it still stands that you need a second setup to the quarantine correctly. I've now got a 300 gal stock tank, my goal is to use that in the future, someday. |

Dear Jeff,
This is my honest to goodness confession and apologies the same time. I use to think that Ingrid was nuts for all her preaching on quarantine (Sorry Ingrid) So I started my pond with a few small fish, junk fish, $10 fish, etc. Loose a fish here and there, didn't know the cause, and didn't care. Then I started buying bigger and better fish (Cost more...). So I got some fish, threw them in the pond without quarantine, and lost some pretty darn expensive fish! I cried. Since then I WILL NEVER put a new fish in my pond without a slat bath and quarantine.

Quarintine? Reality?
I have been very much of the "throw them in ASAP" variety, but I am
seriously reconsidering. Nothing ugly happened yet, but I just don't want to loose any of the fish. So I will install a quarantine tank. Maybe it's also worth discussing how long they have to be in there... some deseases only become manifest after 6 months or longer, so it's still a question of "how lucky do you feel", but the risks must be much smaller. A "control" fish seems to be a good idea as well. Another thing I learned : be very careful with plants... they are the ultimate breeding place for lots of critters, and it may well be that more parasites/leeches are introduced to ponds via the way of plants than through fish ? |

Quarintine? Reality?
You are so right. I think someone posted in here how to give your plants a
mild bleach bath before putting them in your pond. I have a little 100 gallon plant quarantine tank also. No fish or living creature in here intentionally! I submerged the plants in here after a mild bleach dip, then add higher than normal concentration of "quick cure" to the tank. for three weeks before I move the plant to my pond. Keep in mind that my ponds are really established with too many fish and plants to start, so I am not really in any rush to introduce plants or more fish to my ponds. The only reason I add plants or fish is the same reasons others around here like John Ruts does, we have "POND GREED" We can't seem to leave well enough alone! -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "Theo van Daele" wrote in message ... snip Another thing I learned : be very careful with plants... they are the ultimate breeding place for lots of critters, and it may well be that more parasites/leeches are introduced to ponds via the way of plants than through fish ? |

I don't salt my ponds, I only use salt for quarantine or for treatment of
sick fish, as such I use a very high concentration following the direction on the box of pond salt!

Quarintine? Reality?
Never quarantined aquarium fish, didn't quarantine pond fish. No problems at
all but then again I only buy from the one source who produces excellent healthy fish kept in superb conditions. |
Quarintine? Reality?
w/ a microscope??? Fish in a stock tank at the LFS, are usually in
shock anyway, from being recently moved in to crowded pullouted conditions. You can't tell what diseases they are carrying.. Remember, they don't have to be ILL to be a carrier (like West Nile Mosquitoes)... It is more likely that the carrier will survive but the other fish won't... As it happens, I now quarantine fish whenever possible, since, w/ the amount of fish I have, I've had "incidents" a few times.. However, I very rarely buy fish from the LFS... I prefer other hobbyists, as they tend to keep their fish alot healthier.. Its one of those live and learn things... You'll flame yourself plenty, when you add an infected fish to a tank and loose your prized breeding colony of Peacocks or whatever..

For a salt dip, I use a saturated salt solution. Get as much salt to
dissolve as possible. Put the koi in and in a very short period of time, it will roll over and then it is time to take it out and put it in fresh water. This will remove a lot of the slime coat, that is the home for most of the parasites, and will also kill the parasites. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "*muffin*" wrote in message ... what percentage salt?

BV, The website I will list tells you all the why for(s) to quarantine:
http://www.koivet.com/html/articles/...t%20 Articles read it and then let me know what you think. I quarantine, long period and use a canary fish, no problems, but I've had the quarantine fish get sick or at least lethargic just from transport and handling. In quarantine I can easily and cheaply raise my salt or add meds or use medicated food without affecting all my other pond residents. ~ jan On Wed, 18 Jun 2003 13:27:29 -0400, "BenignVanilla" m wrote: Ok, I know this one will grab some flames...and lots of strong opinions, but what I am looking for is..."I did this...and saw this..." and not "I have heard this..."
