quick type of quarantine tank that hangs in the tank can be made from a large juce container.
Cut container in half, discard top part. Make holes near the top in2 places thread wire thru holes to make little hooks. Fill with tank water and place fish inside of tank in the jar. This way the fish will be kept warm.
If you have a small soldering iron you can burn holes into the plastic bottle to allow water circulationfor fish who are NOT ill.
Make sure the holes are very tiny. I once made the holes too big and a betta got his head stuck in the hole and thru his wiggling to get out he severed his spine.
it was a difficult lesson to learn.
I use peanut butter jars as Q tanks suspended in a main tank if a fish is aggressive, being attacked or is very old and it works quite well.
