Hello Andrew,
Thank you for your informative article. I very much enjoyed it and have greatly appreciated your new magazine thus far.
I have a question about quarantine lengths. In your article, you support a length of 4 weeks and present arguments supporting a 6 week stay when possible.
I had been under the impression that two weeks was usually enough, what with two weeks being a complete marine ich lifecycle.
You understand of course the attractiveness of cutting short the quarantine period. Could you please comment on the additional risks being taken by the hobbyist when the period is cut down to three weeks? And to two? Although the last thing I want to do is put my fish at risk, my successful experiences thus far make me reluctant to move to four without a good understanding of the difference in likely success or failure.
Thank you most kindly,
Paul
