HI all - so after a neon tetrageddon incident which nearly wiped out my whole tank I decided I need a quarantine tank.
It seems straightforward - but is it? Does it mean every time I need to quarantine fish I need to set up that tank and cycle it all over again just to qurantine fish? I can't exactly have any permanent inhabitants either as they will then potentially just be exposed to diseases all the time?
I'm guessing I should just get something small enough that can basically accommodate a heater and do an almost 100% water change everyday. I'll obviously have to do this for the entire quarantine period so if this is the case then I'll prob just get a 1 Gallon tank or smaller.
I feel there's a better way to set up and maintain a quarantine tank? What am I missing?
