Thank you :)

LOL That was a funny one, thanks for the laugh :D

I am glad I will not find too much babies that will be the meal of other fish lol. I did not look at everything yet but I think every fishes that will be in my tank (max 5) will be the only one of his specie, I hope they will not interbreed :shock: Tortoises can do that when an owner keep...

Thanks for all the info Josh! I will keep reading everything I can but now I have a better idea of where I should ''concentrate'' my reading :)

Thanks for the info :)

Opps lol, on the Lemond Damselfish, it says ''One of the more peaceful of the damsels'' I thought that was peaceful but they mean of the damsels and not of all the fish. That is sad, I was falling in love with the little one pic. What does territorial really mean? That the fish will attack the...

Thanks Josh and Sarah :) I am taking note of everything you guys are saying, I did some research and since I want a 55gallon and since I want peaceful fish that will leave my inverts and corrals alone, I decided that maybe I would go with a couple of Damselfish :sfish:, I love the lemond one...

Thanks for the tip :D

Thank you so much Josh! I am glad that some corrals are not for experts only :). I will wait minimum a month before adding a new fish thanks for the info. I know I will not start before a couple of months and I know that I have to wait minimum 2 months to get the first cycle done but it is...

Thanks for the info Little_fish. I will keep my fingers crossed that the aquarium near my place sells healthy fishes, corals and inverts :)

Thanks for the input Wontonflip, Chuck,Sarah,and Josh. Sorry if I sound stupid but what does SPS mean :)? So I will not quarantine my new fishes but will wait 3 weeks before adding a new one. So my first fish will be able to spend all his time alone with the inverts before having another...

Thanks Wontonflip. How long do you guys keep the sick fish in the main tank to give him time to heal by himself before treating him?

I like the rubbermaid idea since I would not have to buy an additional tank. The thing is if you guys are not in a favour of an hospital tank because it could stress the sick fish, I will do the same thing as you. I have tortoises and I know how much the stress factor can be a risk.

Thanks, I am glad I asked because I am starting to shop what I will need for my tank and I was about to add a tank and everything I need for a hospital tank.

If a fish gets sick and still the tank and I leave it there, do you treat it with something or a medication for fish or do you just keep a close eye on him and on the others?

Really!! :^: I thought the majority of you were doing it and since I heard you guys have a lot of experiences, I do what you guys do (since I am too much of a newbie to think by myself on the subject lol). So if they look healthy you just put them in the tank! Do you all have quarantine...

Thanks Brian, That is what the articles meant by Russian roulettes, I just got it. If I add a new fish even the first one I will add to my tank, putting him in the tank without treating him is taking a chance because he can be sick and look healthy at the same time. I am kind of sad to hear...

Thanks for the useful links :). Opps I thought that I would quarantine them to see if a problem comes up after I buy him. If I understand correctly, I will have to treat every new fishes I buy even if they look healhy?

Hello everyone, I have read a very interesting article and a lot of threads on this forum about Quarantine tank. I have a couple of questions just to be sure that I understand correctly. 1. When my cycle will be done (after I buy a tank and set everything up and wait until the water is...

Thanks Waddi and little_fish, I will look for that and I will ask them to feed the fish in front of me to see if he eats. Should I ask that for an invert too? Thanks for the info old 5k0ol, I will ask them if they have a store policy about their fishes and inverts.
