Keep newcomers in a different room if you can. Use their own dishes and cleaning tools, and handle them last.
Watch and weigh
For 30 days, check droppings, appetite, breathing and skin or feathers. Weigh weekly. For fish, use a separate quarantine tank.

Nothing here replaces advice from an exotics vet.
