ANS: Prior shipping, it is mandatory required by Malaysian fishery department to quarantine the fishes for 7 days before shipping, our discus will be shifted to our quarantine premise at least 7 days earlier, they will be inspected and only then health certificate to be granted for export.
However, it is common practice for new arriving fishes to be quarantined from any existing fishes in importer's premise, we highly recommend the quarantine process to be done also by the importer before selling them back to the market.
