Acclimation

Fish are acclimated first out of their shipping bags to clean fresh water as quickly as possible with salinity and temp matching. 

Formalin Bath

Fish are then bathed in Formalin at a concentration of 200ppm - 250ppm for 1 hour.

Prophylactic Treatment

Fish are transferred to clean water where are left to acclimate to the aquarium water while being treated in prazi pro, methylene blue, and nitrofurazone for 5-6 hours.

Copper & Parasite Treatment

Fish are then transferred to the aquarium, where they are treated in copper at a therapeutic dosage for at least 2 weeks while being conditioned to aquarium life and introduced to a variety of foods. During this period, they are also treated for internal parasites with Metroplex. In addition, while they are being treated with copper, they are simultaneously treated with Prazi for flukes, which continues for a total of two weeks.

How we keep your marine ecosystem healthy

    We understand the importance of ensuring the well-being of each aquatic inhabitant before they find their way into your tank. That's why every fish undergoes a rigorous quarantine and conditioning process.

    We source only the best and healthiest fish specimens from around the world as well with proper quarantine and condition methods, ensuring that you receive the highest quality fish.

  • Stress-free Shipping
