This was a new buddy that they were making sure was healthy. He got the all clear eventually.
I didn't get a shot, but this dude was missing an eye and needed antibiotics.
He might be my favorite. He ate his enclosure. And started eating some of the trashcan they put in there for him too. What a tubster.
This pig turtle was also a new guy, so he was just chillin.

Do you work for the aquarium??

No, but I know someone who does. And they gave me a tour!

I think the pig turtle is my favorite.

1. They put a trashcan in the fishtank? 2. The turtle enclosure looks quite small :(
Pixi3Dust
Quarantine is short-term so the enclosures are smaller
mimilaters
It was actually pretty big. That plant behind him was like 4 feet around. And there was room to spare
Asteroidrules
Looks like it was just something to give variety in the tank.

TIL that aquariums have "quarantine sections"
ITalkAboutGoats
Yes, yes they do. Fish are easy to lose with disease because of the enclosed nature of water
thewhifflingtit
They are super necessary.
greenfreaklol
So do food! They quarantine animals whenever ones are brought in and when they are sick
LupusLilium
Well, it seems a majority of import food tends to go into quarantine these days. Potentially costing a good amount of money but saving lives
viridianasovari
Why were you quarantined?

Trash can but no recycling bin? How can I save the wildlife if it doesn't want to save itself?

Those animals are stressed.
thewhifflingtit
Necessary evil. It's short term. Hospital visits are stressful for people, too.
Pixi3Dust
That's quarantine for you.

How do they give a fish fish antibiotics? Asking for a friend
KaitlynTheSeaDragon
Added to their water, sometimes food
PrincessMoonicorn
Ohhh cool! Didn't think of that. Just had images of a vet trying to inject a fish....
