Quarantine and a Mandarin.

[DaveCush]

Hi all.

I have a question about q-ing a mandarin.

Can it be done? If yes how do you do it.

My concern is that my q-tank does not have a sufficient pod population to maintain a little guy for 4-6 weeks. My understanding also is that you need to q your fish this long in order to guarantee that ich is not introduced into the system.

If you are not able to q a mandarin for this period of time are you risking ich?

TIA.
