As my research and planning for my aquarium.....
I question myself along with my 15-20 years ago experience. Now I want to ask the experts for your input and experience HOW TO QUARANTINE "HARD-TO-KEEP" SPIECMENTS?? Example let's say;
Ornate Butterfly
Four Eye Butterfly
Regal Angelfish
Potter Angelfish
Mandarian
others.........
When you get those hard to keep spiecments and how do you "dice" the risk whether to quarantine them before introudce to main tank?
Or
Do you "go ahead" and put 'em in main tank where there is a rich food source to encourage them to eat? ( I mean tank with LR, DSB, highest water quality and etc... that they require in order to success)
suppose if I am to quarantine those spiecments and what if their eating remain unsuccessful and become so lovesick of home (ocean) then dying chance is greater. How can this be avoided?
I must ask that question because I am willing to order some fishes thur web-site which save me more than half of the lfs' cost and accept to lose money if anything went unsuccessful with those spiecments. Would you pay $100 for Regal from lfs and end up being a sucker within two weeks? or buy a $40 or less and gamble with success. That's $60 savings! I am desire to success this time and must have everything planned.
Thank you for your input and I hope my thread isnt a beddy-time story for y'all. LOL
