FAQs
Absolutely NOT. We recommend quarantining all new fish. We perform a one week hold on many incoming freshwater fish, to minimize the stress that is associated with shipping. Many times the fish haven't eaten for several days before we get them, and our holding systems help us evaluate the fish health and provide them with a safe environment for them to become "unstressed" and start eating again.
Then count yourself lucky. We recommend quarantining all new fish. It doesn't matter if it's from Reef Life, Petco, Petsmart or your best friend. Ask yourself this question. If I put this fish in my tank (without quarantining) can I afford emotionally and financially to replace everything if it dies or kills everything in my tank?
Sorry ... we do not take in customer fish
