I'm in need of understanding proper quarantine procedures, and hopefully after this post, someone here will help me understand the following:
For example, if I put a fish/invert in quarantine tank on January 25th, and today (April 6th) I purchased a new fish and add it to the quarantine tank, does this mean that quarantine time period is reset back to zero days? So the fish I added on March 6th will now be back at day 1.
If this isn't the case then I'm more confused because if fish 2 contaminates the tank, then fish 1 will be potentially exposed to some disease even though fish 1 quarantine time period is over 70 days.
Thanks!
