First order from Diver's Den

[booyaa138]

I placed my first order from Diver's Den today. I was just wondering if I should still do my normal QT protocol? My normal QT is
1st a 30 to 45 min Formilin bath
next is TTM with PraziPro on the 2nd and 4th transfer.
After that is 2 weeks + of observation. (depending on how the fish look)

I'm only asking because I see That Diver's Den already does the Formilin dip and multiple fresh water dips + copper on top of all that. Should I just QT and observe and treat if needed?

I think most folks here will recommend that you stick to your normal routine.

I would probably just do the TTM with prazi, then into the display.

I'd stick to your normal process

This is what I was thinking. I heard that to much Formilin with shorten the life of the fish.

It depends on species of fish. Most DD animals can just be observed for 1-2 weeks, no meds.
It's the stress of adding directly to a hostile DT that can cause latent pathogens to appear.
I've always added DD stuff straight into DT w/ no problem for the past 10 years.

Dd does not mean it's disease free.

Would the same be true for all fish from live aquaria or are the divers den fish the only ones they treat ahead of time?

Only Divers Den does any sort of tank conditioning/QT/Observation prior to selling.

I would stick your whole process. I would not change a thing.
