Hey guys!
Did I show you my new tank and fish I got?
....Secret Super Hero....
I had him in a qt at fish store for 14 days
lbiminiblue said:i've never QT'd. At least i've never felt the need for it. I've set up a hospital tank to treat ich, but i think the fact that the fish eats well at the store and has bright eyes and complete fins is enough to bypass QT. Just my thoughts, do what your most comfortable with.
Its sad I was so excited about new fish now im just aggravated
lol...I just think looking at the fish itself at the store should be a good indicator of its health. like i bought a jawfish even though he had a torn fin....considering that the LFS keeps their holding tanks in good condition FROM WHAT I CAN See, and that they can maintain a display like this-Big fan of Russian Roulette, huh?

I know they have the parasite. Eradicating it is close to impossible in a tank. If you keep the fish happy then the ich remains dormantYou've obviously never lost an entire tank due to no QT...i have...one thing you might not have known about marine ich...while some fish may be considered "immune" or not showing signs of marine ich...they still possess the parasite and can pass it on...trust me i know from experience i will never not QT again...unless i win the lottery and even than ill burn the money instead
