I havent been to a petco in a while and we were at a store next to it so i ventured in. They actually made some changes from the last time, they had clean looking tanks and surprisingly some anemones and inverts that actually looked decent. I started talking to the guy a bit and eventually got on the topic of quarantining new fish that come in and if they do it. He told me they did and pointed to the tank on the end with some damsels and a yellow tang in it.
My question is this, the "quarantine tank" was looped into the system with all the rest of his tanks, i poked my head up into the hoods after he was gone and saw the water bar dumping into the next tank and the next tank and every tank down the line. Am i missing something or is it pointless to have a QT tank thats tied into every tank in the system, if u bring a fish in with ich wont every fish in the store get the parasite??
