Our Conditioning Process

With over a decade in the hobby and the industry, we’ve pooled our quarantine knowledge and expertise into the Coral Nerd Guarantee.

Conditioned fish

  • A strict protocol lasting 2 to 6 weeks, plus a 5-day observation and acclimation period before shipping.
  • Four independent systems medicated with Coppersafe®, ParaGuard®, PraziPro®, Metroplex®, Aqua-Cipro® and nitrofurazone for most internal and external pathogens.
  • Fish are eating high-quality foods for maximum nutrition and immunity before they leave us.
  • Covered by our 7-day live guarantee.

Unconditioned fish

Unconditioned fish come as-is from the supplier and are excluded from our 7-day live guarantee. We treat them with Seachem ParaGuard® dips over 24 hours, plus another 24 hours in our system to de-stress and acclimate before shipping. We cannot guarantee the survival of an unconditioned fish after delivery.

Note: we encourage you to fully quarantine all fish after arrival to prevent infections and parasites.
