... When you get ready to fill a community tank, how the heckie do you handle the concept of quarantine? Or do you... not, and just cross your fingers?
We're in a kind of aquatics deadzone and aren't interested in shipping in an entire 75g community's worth of fish, so it's sadly likely we'll be purchasing at one of the big Pet___ buildings. AKA disease nightmare land.
We'll be having tetras, possibly cories or otos, one or two of the smaller plecos, possibly snails and shrimp, and barbs/danios. We're interested in mollies but know to get REALLY CONFIDENT about sexing live bearers unless we want infinite fish. We'll be reading up on species compatibility before we officially begin stocking plans, but essentially my fiancée is a sucker for glofish so it'll be at least half those.
I'm just... so mind boggled at the QT process if you aren't buying from a respectable breeder directly.
