Default do you quarantine your new additions?

Just want to know how many people quarantine their fish, please also comment with your survival rate and where you purchase from.

The poll isn't up

I do tank transfer, have not lost a fish due to this method yet and have been doing that for a few years.

Good to see others that just put them in, I don't feel as bad lol. I would say its more like 90% survival for me though, although I don't think it was anything we did.

I did this for years, then one day I did what i always did, in 3 days complete tank wipe out and 6 week fallow.

Never ever again.

I guess you dice with the dark side one day you will get burnt. I did, and I know when I mentioned this on RC the thread was full of same stories. I just dont take risks like that now

Same. I was very much against QT until I lost all my fish. Twice. Everything now goes in a separate QT.

You dip your fish in coral rx?
I have never quarenteened anything thought about it with my achilles but too much work removing fish outta three tanks. there all tied together plus would need 3 tanks to quarenteen then all in. I know I'm playing with fire but never had a issue other then short term ich breakouts that have always for the most part gone away with no deaths.
