Our saltwater fish are inspected for disease, color, injuries, and behavior upon arrival. Afterward, they are acclimated and placed in a recovery system or quarantine tanks depending on need. We quarantine all of our saltwater fish for at least 7 days and if not showing any signs of disease and are eating properly we move them to a long-term holding system and listed for sale.
