    Short video showing how I quarentine my fish after I have imported them.
    Wild bettas and wild caught fish are almost always imported with diseases. The first step to combat this is to eliminate external parasites before it takes hold. Diseases like epistylis, velvet, ich and collumnaris are very difficult to eliminate after they take hold.

      @zdamha6890 all fish from thailand farm come with velvet, ich or worms. You should always treat them. I made some videos on this. I'm planning to make a complete quarentine guide

      @@BlackwaterAquatics okay cool, i bought some Ich treatment, and some Parasite medication. I also have some Almond leaaves im going to use during the quarantine process. I only have the one Betta coming in and it looked real healthy in the pics. How long should i keep it quarantined. And i do not have a fancy quarantine setup just a mini betta tank we bought years ago for breeding. I figured it would be fine as long as i do water changes every 2-3 days?

      @zdamha6890 almond leaves doesn't do much. But the ich meds will. You can quarentine betyas in containers and even water bottles as long as you do water changes

    You should deworm them. Most imported bettas will carry tapeworms.

      @sureguy8124 I deworm them on week 3 with fenbendazole week 2 I use metronidazole. Though I don't see alotnof tape worms in indoneasian fish as I do fish from SE Asia

      @@BlackwaterAquatics great job. My VIP plakats from Thailand will carry tapeworms. Some will show tapeworm and most won't show any worms coming out of its anal. When I do treat them for tapeworm I use prazipro, when I treat them I put them in the dark so when the worms drop out they don't eat it. I use a suction to get the dead worms so they don't eat it.
