Parasites?

[Pulcher]

I am setting up a 180 gallon salt and am going to put fish in there that i cast net. I have never had a salt tank before, Is there anything i need to worry about? do salt water fish carry parasites?

The fish i have caught so far are saltwater minnows, Baby mackerals, baby jacks and pompanos, baby trout and baby mullet.

Any input would be great.

putting those fish in your tank came out of the ocean just like any other saltwater fish right?

sorry i would have answered earlier if i had seen this

yeah salties get parasites just like anything else..

im assuming you're catching them, keeping them for a while, then either letting them go or eating them...

i'll ness shouldn't be too much of a problem with the short spans you're keeping the fish
but the number of individuals comming and going would counteract that

keeping some general antbiotic on hand wouldn't be a bad thing if you came across a fish you particularly liked, and wanted to keep-keep
