Quarantine tanks are usually used to treat new fish before introducing them into an established aquarium, but they can also be used after a water change or anytime there is suspicion of contamination in the water.

If you want to use aquarium salt, dissolve 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon of water in the quarantine tank. If you are using methylene blue or vinegar, follow the directions on the package. To treat with fish medication, follow the directions on the package.
