Default Hospital tank...new fish treatment questions


wrote in message
. ..
My wife and I just purchased a pretty cool 5 gallon hex tank with bio
wheel filter from walmart for a hospital tank.

What is the best treatment for new fishfrom the LFS? Should i treat them
with a combo of melafix and pimafix???? maybe a different regiment???

I figured this would be a safe bet so i dont kill my live planted 75
gallon livebearer aquarium.

====================
It needs to be cycled somehow. Can you add a ripe filter from another tank?
Some ripe gravel perhaps?

I treat all new fish with Quick Cure or Aquarasol and quarantine them for 14
days, longer if anything looks suspicious.
