- Thread starter X24
- Start date
i got the guy in a 10 gallon with some aquarium salt and he is just laying...upside down. but he is breathing.....:'( idk if he'll make it through the night because unless he starts swimming there is no way he'll be able to eat and no way he'll live. its a shame too because he looked amazing even when stressed out.

Your kidding ...right?!
$8 for a 10g
$5 for a foam filter
$5 for an air pump
$1 for water / salt / ick treatment
$19 + tax
and if you want cheaper go with a plastic tub for $3-$4...
If you can't get up twenty bucks in a month you can't afford fish.
Try picking up aluminum cans, you can get $20 pretty quick.
Quarantine tanks are not a luxury they're a necessity.

well up till this point i've seen no need for QT tanks unless a fish is sick, which then i've always been able to rig something up pretty quick. but now all my fish are going to QT until i really think they are ready for the main tank.
