Is that a sailfin? They go in like a 180 gallon tank! They have to be in like a 6 or 8 foot long tank!

Unless you picked up a minimum of a 4' tank as well I'd take him back.......for the fish's sake, you need to give him a proper home.

 

[Driftbuddy1988]

Hes only an inch and a hlaf long and about a month hell be in a 12foot long tank

 

[engineer goby]

14 Days isn't a long enough QT period. They need to be in QT for a minimum of 6 weeks.

 

[Driftbuddy1988]

Well hes already in dt why qt for 6 weeks

:cursin:

As you asked just three days ago... My response is still the same.

 

[TylerHaworth]

I dont think the blue hippo is such a good idea if ur still new at this and they are very easily stressed and prone to ick..... Also most places recomend at least a five foot long tank as they are swimmers and most 50 gallon tanks are 3foot or at most four feet.

That's from another thread, and the fish you picked up happens to need even MORE space than a Blue...

Well looks like my corals will be moved and mt 65 will become my qt tank my big tank 12'x3'x3' tall us cycling now should be ready soon thats why I got him guys I know he needs a bigvtank sheesh

 

[Driftbuddy1988]

Will it hurt to leave all my fish in befote moving then to big tank if I'm going to use this tank as qt

 

[Driftbuddy1988]

[modulok]

So the QT water wasn't plumbed to any other water source?

Guy at your LFS is as knowledgeable about a proper quarantine procedure as I am rebuilding diesel engines.

[Driftbuddy1988]

I really doubt you have a large tank to set up in the near future cause you have been complaining about not having enough money to complete a 40b, also you have not breathed a word about a large tank and that is the first thing I would be talking about if I actually had such a large tank to set up. So, if you want to treat a fish so poorly, by all means go ahead, its the same as keeping you dog in a small kennel and never letting it out.

I def have anther thread taking about anther tank that I've had and I've been taking about uo grading my tank awell in alot of my posts... And I'm no2 sure what a fourty b is unless its a breeder tank but mack is a 65 gallon
