Have a small tank ( relative to what size fish you keep ) , run a sponge filter with a small heater and just keep the fish there , possibly treating the water with a bit of salt and just placing the newly aquired fish there to make sure it doesnt have a disease.
Putting the new fish on Q is also a good way to make sure the new fish is eating.

Q.If your treating the fish, how do you actually keep them healthy in a Quarant tank, w/out killing beneficial bacteria?
A.It will depend on what you are treating and what you are using for medication.
And as stated above it allows you a chance to monitor food intake as well as letting the fish eat without competition for food.-Anne
