Best way to Quarantine feeders???

Get a quarantine tank. How many feeders do you keep? Get heater and a sponge filter. Keep tank barebottom.

i got a 15 gallon 24''X12''X12'' with an AC 20 and a 100 Watt submersible heater. i put 0.5'' of sand at the bottom because i may be getting Kuhli loaches and it would be nice to get them to breed.

there will probably be around 30 very small loaches if i decide to go that route. i choose baby loaches because all my fish are basically bottom dwellers
and have hard time catching the white cloud minnows i got in tank currently

whats next?

I wouldn't bank on the kuhlis breeding. They are hard to persuade to breed and all of the reported cases were purely accidental and effortless.

in my AC 20 im using all the media it came with.

sponge
carbon
bio max

is the AC 20 gonna be enough for a 15 gallon?
Should be fine but you don't need the carbon at the moment.

damn that sucks about the coolies... i think ill still try.. who knows... i took out the carbon and AC biomax and replaced it with my own concoction of used media from my other tank. i bought 4 convicts also and got fake plants and a grassy patch and pots for hiding. should i try to breed the convicts?
 
i would man... they are the only ones that laid eggs more then once for me. they did it 3 times with over a hundred surviving fry too. i made a pretty penny selling them but it was too much of a hassel with having 4 tanks going.
