TungTung Sorry to hear the sad news In my opinion, every new fish should at least be quarantined for a month on it own before entering the main tank as a small number of ICH or some other parasite may attach to the gill or other unseen part of the fish when you buy it and multiply in several weeks' time unnoticed. As suggested by KK, you may buy NH3/NO2 absorber etc to ensure the water quality of a Q-tank of a modest scale, but since your way of adding fish should be quite long (your tank is 66" lar ), it is best for you to install a full-fetched Q-tank with all necessary equipment like skimmer/ bio-filtration system(UGF/sump depending on the size). A single disaster to the main tank will well pays off the costs of a Q-tank of such scale. As mentioned by deechand, any change to the habitat will create great bio-pressure to the fish. The introduction of a large number of fish to a Q-tank in a short period of time will be a great danger to the fish, no matter how well the Q-tank is equipped, as the bio-system need time to adjust to the increase of fish. That's the reason why I have suggested to put back all the fishes to the main tank and apply hyposalinity and other medical treatment. Concerning the adding of new fish, since as mentioned, a small number of ICH may have already parasited on the appear-to-be-healthy fish/ floating in the tank water in the dormant stage, it is better to wait and observe the situation of the tank for at least a month. Newly introduced fishes are inherited to be weak and proned to the attack of any desease already present in our tank  |
