Rats and fish have just been bought home, so don't put them directly into the fish tank, and they can only be put into the fish tank after quarantine. To quarantine rats and fish, we must first prepare a fish tank for quarantine. The water in the fish tank can use the original tank water plus a small amount of trapped water. Secondly, the equipment of quarantine tank should be prepared, and a filter and heating rod can be installed to ensure environmental stability. Finally, special drugs for quarantine are added, and the dosage of drugs of different brands is different. Breeders can refer to the instructions of drugs. If you can't buy quarantine drugs, you can add potassium permanganate, methyl blue and potassium permanganate into water to show lavender. After the quarantine work is ready, the newly bought rats and fish can be put into the tank after passing through the water, drugged normally and raised for 1-2 weeks, then stopped taking the medicine for a few days to observe their status. If there is no death or illness, it can be put into the aquaculture tank.
2. Why should rats and fish be quarantinedMany breeders hear the word quarantine when buying rats and fish, but they don't understand why rats and fish should be quarantined. Let's introduce it in detail below.
Rats and fish themselves produce toxins. If they are put directly into the fish tank without quarantine, other fish in the fish tank will be poisoned or died. Moreover, rats and fish will carry a large number of bacteria. If they are not sterilized before entering the tank, the bacteria they carry will not affect their own safety, but will affect the health of other fish, so they must be quarantined.
