Picked up a pair of these beauties. Any thoughts on the best way to QT them safely? My concern is that they are reported to live off pods and such, I was planning to do TTM with a couple of 5G buckets and then drop them in a 10G observation tank. I QT everything wet, fish for 6 weeks and everything else 4 weeks.
 
see if you can get ahold of some nutramar ova. pod-feeding fish tend to accept that as food.

According to Nutramar's website:

"We are currently out of Ova. Climatic disruptions in tropical coastal areas have disrupted the life cycle of the prawns that produce the eggs for this product. We are currently evaluating when eggs will be collected this year. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Is there another product that seems to also be successful for pod-feeding fish?

Seems like they've had trouble for a while now...bummer.

Brine shrimp nauplia. You can hatch them from eggs in an old soda bottle.

Or you can do it like me - have a tigger pod culture on you balcony (or basement or wherever else you have space).
My culture produces now enough to feed two tanks daily.
 
Will my plan of 2 5G buckets for TTM and the 10G for observation/extended QT work though? Never QT'd anything this small, just a clown and a cherub angel before.

I have LRS Reef Frenzy that might work, if that doesn't I'll get a variety of foods. I'm going to pick them up tomorrow, will see if they can feed them for me before I do.
