I now quarantine my new fish before introducing them.I’ve been fish keeping for 10+ years buying from big box stores and smaller stores and never had a problem. Very Recently I’ve noticed a lot of stores are neglecting fish and selling sick ones is very common. In a matter of a month I had gotten 2 clown loaches and a tetra from country max which all had ich and infected 3 of my tanks. Then after all that was done and fixed my girlfriend went and got a new beta from PetSmart, she didn’t want to quarantine her because “she looked and seemed fine”. About 2 days after adding her to her beta sorority tank with 6 other female bettas and a baby pleco the entire tank was fouled and sick just by adding one fish and now she doesn’t want to fish keep anymore. Please please please listen to father fishes advice when it comes to this stuff! It may save you’re entire tank that you worked so hard to get together!
The most important lesson beyond keeping new fish in Quarantine is to s top buying fish from big box stores. They deliberately sell sick fish to new hobbyists with the intent purpose of upselling hundreds of dollars in medications and special equipment.
@@FatherFish where tobuy them then?
@@hernanmurillo8925 GetGills, Aquabid, local fish store, fish club, local swaps, be creative.
I call it "The Green Room". Not quite the hospital vibe. It's a nice relaxing planted tank for new arrivals. Only snails live in it on a regular day.
Cut the hair father? Looks professional, but I must admit I liked the Santa look.
noooo I love the haircut!!!
The real Father Fish is emerging.
Happy Friday Father Fish! 🐡🐟🐠
Thank you fatherfish. So refreshing to watch your videos. Your the definition of what we in Sweden would say is "en go gubbe". That would roughly translate to a geniune, solid and trustworthy gentleman with life experience. Take care and stay healthy. Greetings from Sweden
Delighted to be your en go gubbe!
Glad I knew to check if Father Fish had a video on this! I got another betta today, so I have her in the quarantine tank even though I trust the store I got her from!
This advice has come right on the very day I bought a school of ember tetras.. luckily I decided not to place them in the main tank yet but in a separate tank for the first few days. After watching this video, I have decided to keep the tetras in quarantine for much longer. Thank you father fish!
Good info! Thanks for sharing. I was debating putting some new fish directly into the tank, but now I'm not going to take the risk
Someday I’ll have the space for one
There is always room for one more tank.
thank you very much for your videos
Got my Father Fish Fix for today! Good video 😊
Very informative content!
Thanks so much father fish
More excellent content
Thank you
Take care Fatherfish !
Thank you for your videos. You cover the topics very correctly. I haven't met such experienced and serious people for a long time. Good luck to you and thank you again.
Thank you
I have learned so much from you. I never would have done this but I sure am now! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and life with us. Priceless
Father Fish you are a blessing. I learn so much valuable information from you. God bless you abundantly.
So nice of you
Once again excellent content! I’ve been binge watching your videos and honestly I’ve never (pardon my ignorance) placed new fish in a quarantine tank. Luckily my fish all survived and are doing well, but I will definitely be setting up a new quarantine tank for my future fishies 🐠❤
Thank you Father Fish! Your videos are very calming and so informative!!
appreciate your thoughtful reply.
Very good video, thank you, keep up FF😊
Greetings frim Serbia
Thank you Predrag. Nice to hear from Serbia.
I genuinely do not have space for a quarantine tank😫
I was just trying to brighten my 1 b/1 b apartment up with a single tank, and yet everything seems so darn complicated.
Baba muhteşem anlatım ve verdiğin bilgiler için çok teşekkür ediyorum
Bunu yapmak benim için bir zevk
well said but impossible for us newbies with not only one tank but not even enough space for a second tank, so we just roll a dice and hope for the best
There is always room for one more tank!
Thanks again for another great video. After learning your fish keeping method I've been really curious how you keep quarantine/ hospital tanks.
Hope you enjoyed the video and may e were surprised.
Hey Fatherfish! I want to thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I recently set up a 40 gallon breeder with a deep substrate and planted it and notice a difference already. I have a question. I heard others mention a quarantine tank shouldn't have plants or Sub (substrate) due to possible spread of disease staying on the plants. Do you agree, I ask cause you suggested to have a deep sub and plants if that is the tank the fish will go into after. Thanks in advance!
Disease is not carried by plants.
@@FatherFish thank you, I appreciate it!
So how would you clean the tank if it's planted y you had sick fish
Hi Father Fish, quick question. At 1:31 , what are those black and white striped minnows called? I am very intrigued by them and would like to do research! 😁
pencil fish
Dear Father Fish, I have been following your advice and am very happy with my new natural aquarium here in Portugal. I have one small issue that I haven't found addressed in any of your videos I have seen so far: earthworms came with the mud I put in the bottom, and they have been digging the mud and depositing it on top of the sand! These are clearly aquatic earthworms, capable of living in these conditions indefinitely, I have seen them often here. The tank has been set up several weeks ago and there's a growing layer of mud on top of the sand, and the water is staying cloudy. Is this "bad" enough to justify starting over?
Thank you so much for your advice!
Good health for you and yours.
This is the second time I have heard about this. NOW I understand what is happening. They are not earthworms but they are segmented worms, like earthworms. The popular food blackworms is a segmented worm that can grow to 6 inches. That is what these are. Add 1/" of sand every 3 days until the problem resolves itself. It is not a serious problem except for the dirty water. A sponge filter will help. Also, begin building a food web of leaf culture from a pond or creek. This will provide added biology to the tank that will act to control the worms. AND it will absorb the soil that is being brought to the top.
@@FatherFish thanks! The tank has lots of diversity already, and I haven't even added the fish yet! Just waiting for the plants to grow a bit more so that the critters have some place to hide in.
Do you want me to catch and film one of these worms for you?
at 7min30ish you speak of ick and show it on axolotls which are coldwater creatures.. if ich happens to get onto/into them..would it not be detrimental to their health to raise the temperature to such degree?..
I missed that. The axolotls do not appear to have ick. I did not catch it. They have a fungus that is running rampant because they are being kept, apparently, in a very unhealthy environment. Ick rarely attacks scaleless slamanders.unless their slime coat is compromised by severe stress. There are chemical treatments such as Quick Cure - malachite green and formalin - that are effective in low doses for this problem. The fungus can be treated with salt. You are correct a high temp for this animal may cause it to suffer. It is a spotted salamander that lives in other semi tropical and temperate environments that may well reach close to 90 f degrees in nature. Because the axolotl has been kept in ca[ptivity for many generations it is much less susceptible to warm temperatures. Care should be taken treating them but I would first try a salt bath with an elevated 84f temp.
Ciao father fish, alcuni ho visto che trattano tutti i nuovi pesci con permanganato di potassio nelle vasche di quarantena, e anche con antiparassitari...tu che ne pensi?
Grazie molte
Quando puoi, se hai tempo mi puoi dare una risposta, grazie infinite
Perhaps a breeding tank is a special tank also?
It certainly is. Thank you. I was looking for another specialty tank.
Do we need to turn off acquarium lights in night ... Pls reply
The only reason I would leave a tank light on at night personally would be for plant growth.
I have some tanks that never have the lights off.
Hi ff ive heard people disinfecting there tanks with potassium permanagate i think thats how you spell it is that any good for getting rid of desease in your tank or is it dangerous to fish?
Permangenate is a toxic mineral compound that works by killing. Much of our use of chemicals is based on this technology. We try to avoid this approach in our natural systems.
Yes very much understood i would not use unless i was breaking down a tank to disinfect i would not use in the tank with fish in it i no they do with discus fish ive seen them do that for breeding purposes but i just wanted your expert advice on the matter thankyou
Do you know how to grow our own fish like tilapia
yes
do i need to quarantine fish for a new tank?
Excellent question. Yes!
please tell me how to breed crayfish
I will do in a video.
@@FatherFish thanks
No beard? Father Fish light.
😂when I see the thumbnail and title🤣😂 I thought u were moving Ur shop. Some where else 😂 editor 😂make sure we're watch the video 😂 that you editing 🤣
talking about quarantine tanks. My shop closed 3 years ago.
@@FatherFishlove you FF
There should be no such thing as a disposable fish!!!
Perhaps. But every fish that is eaten by another is disposed of.Every fish brought into a home aquarium will die there. Every single living organism in the universe will be disposed of. What are you really saying? Just trying to take the moral high ground? FAIL!
It's either putting the new fish into an already established tank with 2 other fish (quarantine tank) or putting the new fish in your main tank which means all your other fish will be disposed of as It is literally a risk that your new fish are carrying diseases. So either way... You can't choose because what you choose you'll end up with the same result just on a different scale. So they are NOT really disposable fish for that matter.
@@FatherFish no I'm saying it's unnecessary to be cruel & putting a living being into a potentially high risk environment to suffer is cruel whatever the creature! No high ground wanted! Quarantine what you bring home together or on their own.
@@Spacey7 However, testing the safety of the fish with other fish is best done in a controlled environment. I am not suggesting putting healthy fish with sick fish.
@@FatherFish That's exactly what you're suggesting. You said it yourself the fish you buy more often than not have something wrong with them. I don't see the point of using a fish for this. I have learnt things from you but this I think you're just trying to be controversial with or refuse to stop bad habits! Why would you want to put a healthy fish in a quarantine tank to see if the new fish have any disease when the new fish will tell you the same during the quarantine period!
