Determining when to move from QT to DT

[JoshuaG]

I would like to hear opinions on when you feel the time is right to move your fish from QT to DT. I have had a Multibar and Potters in QT for 6 weeks now, treated with prazi and both fish are eating mysis, brine and flake. I'm only hesitating to move them to my DT as they are still so small. The Multibar can't be much more then 1.5". I need the room in my QT for new fish though!:lmao:

I usually qt my fish for at least 6 weeks. It often times ends up being longer than that because I don't like to add new fish to the display tank unless I have lots of time to watch the fish so the fish hangs out in qt until then.

If you are worried about bullying you may get an acclimation box and put the fish in it in your display tank. This will give the fish in your tank some time to familiarize themselves with their new tank mates without being able to harm the new angels.
