INQUIRE TODAY ON COST OF FULL QT!

Arrival: Over our years in international business, we have gained connections with divers and exporters from across the planet. Therefore, we do not use domestic wholesalers! This ensures the health of new arrivals as they have not been bounced around to different holding systems and exposed to possible contaminants. Fish are unpacked with care and not handled with hands for social media videos like other stores. We can import from over 20 different regions!

QT treatment: The difference between QT and regular is the extra time used to run a full medication cycle, longer monitoring, and added preventions such as formalin baths and FW dips. There is 4 stages of our protocol: Introduction, Monitoring, Treatment, and Aquarium Life. Firstly, we introduce all of our livestock to stable and comfortable holding tanks after an extensive acclimation and health screening. Next, we observe the fish for a few days and see if any infections, parasites, or sickness are present on the fish. At this period, the fish will also undergo a freshwater dip or formalin bath depending on the species. Our treatment cycle normally includes copper medication, prazipro treatment, and/or CP treatment for an extensive period. Lastly, we make sure all fish are conditioned to aquarium life with multiple daily feedings of common commercially available prepared frozen foods or dry foods. All fish will be shipped out healthy and eating amazingly.

Standard Conditioning Protocol

All the livestock we have listed for sale has been conditioned to the standards in this procedure. Most of our fish are sourced directly from our divers and haven't been bounced around to a bunch of different systems and water parameters.

  • Monitoring

    All the fish we receive from the wild will be unfamiliar to aquarium life. In this stage of the process, we monitor each individual fishes health, apatite, and overall looks. All the species we sell have been with us and monitored for at least 2 weeks (for shallow water species) or 3 weeks (for special & deep-water)

  • Treatment

    All the species that go through our conditioning protocol are treated with medication to remove & prevent certain types of marine parasites and worms internally and externally in the fish. Additionally, for species that can handle copper treatment we medicate to treat for possible marine velvet & ich. Any fish that we ship out should have no obvious signs of worms, ich, or velvet, although this doesn't mean the fish won't develop a sickness in the weeks after arrival. Therefore, its in your best interest to first introduce the fish to a monitoring or quarantine tank before main display.

  • Aquarium life

    All the fish we sell have been kept in our facility for a couple weeks at least, during this time we feed each fish and get them familiar with commercially available dry / frozen foods. When sending out fish, we hand select the best looking and most eager to eat individual.

    • Please Note

      Our conditioning protocol is not a full replacement for individual quarantining, it is always in your best interest monitor or quarantine the fish you receive from us or any online store. This is just one step of the process ensuring that the fish you receive will not be unfamiliar to aquarium life or sick out of the box.
