Quarantined fish for sale

If you don't have a QT or the time to deal with one then looks to be a good safe solution but most with large DTs have a QT anyway unless its an office or something. Some fish are pretty expensive as is and as long as you know your up to the task of properly doing a QT then patience is all you require & save some $$$ also. If i had unlimited funds & a huge DT id probably give it a try tho if i had no QT tank on hand. Looks like he covers all the issues very well long as the salinity is a match when you receive it. Just my .02 worth. Would be interesting to see what the full charges are......

I like it but it hard to tell the final cost. It looks like shipping is your responsibility. I always say if a fish will live for 2 months, it will live for a long time. I would be a buyer if the price is say $30 more per fish. I like the idea.

On a side note, captive bred fish are on the rise and those are pretty sterile tanks.

That all seem pretty fair and really worth the money if you do not qt yourself. I have seen so many people leave the hobby over diseases taking over the whole tank.

I’ll keep this in mind if I need larger fish or a lot of fish that are hard to qt yourself with limited space. I do not like adding anything to my tanks in fear of disease. Especially these days when I see so many more diseases.
