How do you quarantine newly purchased ranchu goldfish?
Setup a 10-20 gallon tank (no gravel or ornaments are needed) fill it with water, condition it using a de-chlorinator. Purchase an aerator and a simple sponge filter- set these both up in the tank and have them running for a good 72 hours before adding your goldfish. Acclimate the goldfish by adding a few cups of tank water to the water the fish is in currently. Once the fish is acclimated, you can then add it to the quarantine tank. There the fish will live for the next 2-4 weeks as you meticulously check it for any signs of disease. It is also, just as a precaution (especially if you plan to add this fish in with your goldfish collection), recommended to treat the fish for flukes using an antiparasitic medication and by raising the salt concentration in the tank to .3%.
