I'm about to recieve an expensive and very sensitive fish from DD. Does anyone know about their quarantine procedure? Do they treat for ich and other parasites?
Can I quarantine in my frag tank just to help recover from shipping or should I do hypo salinity just to be safe?
 
If it's from diver's den they do put most of their fish thru a quarantine procedure and make sure they eat before they sell it to you. That is why you pay a premium price. I don't think this has changed.
 
Yep, the QT and treat. They don't release until it's healthy and eating. If it's an expensive and sensitive one they probably hold it for a few months before puttin git up for sale.

What fish did you get?
 
I would only buy them from divers den as its hard to find one that will adapt to aquarium life. If its from a LFS, I would have to have them hold it for me for at least a week or two.

Awesome purchase Niño. I wonder what is the survival rate of their livestock once acclimated to home systems? You definitely pay the premium price for some of those beauties, they sure put a lot of time and care into QT.
 
You actually don't pay that much more. They usually sell them bigger than 4" in divers den for $226. When you buy them from live aquaria, you pay $210 for a small juvenile achilles. So from Divers Den you get an adult size and it's already quarantined. I would call that a great deal!
