We all know we should quarantine our fish but unfortunately, most of us do not have a quarantine tank for a variety of reasons. Just a few excuses that are at least familiar to most of us include the fact that such a tank costs space and money, that such a tank is hopefully not often used and the fact that such a tank often turns into yet-another-tank. Of course, the spouse factor should not be forgotten either.
许多水族师使用“垃圾场”方法。我不会否认这足够经常起作用，但是我认为许多珊瑚礁不能否认他们觉得因不采用适当的隔离程序而丢失了比必要的更多的鱼。虽然我完全可以理解没有隔离坦克的原因，但我确实看到了隔离鱼的好处，只是提到一些：
- 鱼可以与系统分开，从而避免了当前种群的感染
- 您可以控制鱼
- 鱼可以从世界上漫长的旅程中休息
– you have the possibility to treat the fish with medication
- 您几乎可以从字面上肠道加载鱼以加强其免疫系统
在过去的几年中，我使用了一种几乎提供隔离的技术，而无需单独的系统。我不会推荐我的方法实际上是“真正”隔离动物的方法，但是我确实强烈主张它在我们许多人使用的“垃圾箱和希望”方案上使用。
I have bought a small plastic tank containing about 12 litres, have drilled it with multiple holes and have outfitted it with a small pump supplying it with water from the tank. Simply hang the tank in your aquarium, offer the new comer some hiding places (coral, pvc-tubing, seaweeds… ) and let it acclimate to your tank for at least a few days.
The plastic tank can be kept in place with the use of a strong algae magnet or it can be hung in a framework made of small wooden beams laying on the top of the tank. I recommend to feed newcomers as often as possible in order to let them regain strength and to get them to know the foods you feed.
另外，通过看到周围的“礁石”中的其他鱼，鱼将放松，并知道它是新家，而不会受到伤害或骚扰的风险。
除了感染当前系统的风险外，还存在“真实”隔离的所有好处。当然，这种风险绝对值得考虑，但是只要释放水族馆中的鱼而没有任何特别的注意，您还是会暴露其他动物。
老实说，这个工具对我来说非常有价值。当然，从值得信赖的来源中选择健康鱼类的重要性不能被替换，但是通过将鱼保留几天到几周的容器中，我避免了许多不必要的鱼类损失。
因此，我对在系统中添加怪异，敏感或昂贵的鱼的添加更加安全，从而使我的爱好更加快乐。我希望在这篇文章中说服您尝试此方法。你的鱼值得。您如何处理新的收购？
