Quarantine Question
I have had a small ocellaris clownfish and a firefish in quarantine for a little over a week now. How long should I keep them in there? Would ich or a disease not be visible within a couple of weeks? I have looked both fish over closely and they have no signs of ich or any other disease.
Although I understand why corals or inverts should be quarantined for 4-6 weeks so ich will die without a host I would think 2-3 weeks should be good if a fish is healthy and eating.

Ditto. Better safe than sorry. I know, hard to look at it in that lil bitty tank. Remember the magic word? There, that's much better now isn't it!
