tank / quranteen

["Yvan Alleau" <yalleau@coas.oregonstate.edu>]

hi Mike,
thanks for your answer.
When i got the tank in question i did clean it up thoroughly even using a
blade to get rid of any build-up on the glass. i bleached the tanks too. The
marks still remain on that particular tank. I though about acriflavine
(tripaflavine) as well but the silicon seal is clear.
oh well.....i'll see !

A question about quaranteen of wild caught fish. Do you guys keep the fish
for 4-6 weeks in a tank and just check on them or do you systematically
treat to get rid of some of the "germs" these guys will clearly be coming
with? If so, what type of treatment do you advise? They are a few
wholesaler/importor on the list so i guess you guys/gals have lots of
experience in that domain. Just curious about other people do on that
matter.
thanks for any answers.

PS: I'll be gone on a scientific cruise from jan 12th to feb 12th, so please
don't be surprise if  I cannot reply to personal e-mail you might send to
me.

Yvan,

I don't think that I have ever seen any aquarium chemicals that stained the
glass yellow-green. Could it be algae that has dried on the glass? Sometimes
it
takes a lot of scrubbing to get it off. It is more common to see the
silicone
cement stained. Usually the color is blue-green from Malachite Green, but
Acriflavine could give the silicone a yellow color. I doubt that it harmful,
but
you could test it with some test fish first.
