Quarantine clean up crew


Recommended Posts

How many members quarantine their snails  shrimp, crabs 4-6 weeks after purchase?  Some of the most inexpensive livestock we purchase.  Curious as some lfs stores sell such livestock out of systems  that house their fish.  Most of these systems  have shared filtration.  Online ordering you have no clue as to what their systems  look like.  Cleanliness  doesn’t mean there isn’t disease.  Diseases and some pest easily could be transferred to main display by clean up crew.  I have never had an issue with this, but with my new build something i am considering.  You can’t  medicate snails shrimp etc so quarantine would have to last long enough to beat the life cycle of ich and other diseases.  Plus gives you time to view any pest that may show in the quarantine tank that arrived  on the snail shells that may not be visible.  Just curious if others quarantine clean up crew?
