I am with Maww, my one and only pair of Chrys jammed and I had tossed them right into a large reef. The female tripled in size and never showed any signs of serious disease.
I am not discounting good QT procedures, its just been my(limited) experience.
Ezhoops, they are a nice little pair. I wish you the best of luck with these guys.

I don't know.
I fed your fish for you today. They like flake and the spectrum pellets. Cute little guys.

The stress of all these dips and hypo and baths and blah, blah, blah, is too much. I disagree, however, about the need for QT and do not see the QT itself as being stressful. Because we do not know for sure what bugs they may be carrying new arrivals should be kept separated. They may fight off a slight bacterial infection when placed in a healthy reef tank. But they will not fight off brook or amyloodinium. And it will spread to the other fish. Then you have a bigger problem.

No its just close to my house. I stopped in to see my pair, which is the larger set in the top right tank. Your little guys looked hungry.
I have sold off my broodstock and am just gonna keep this pair in my reef.

I plan to dip them and then put them right into my reef tank.

Formalin for sure and maybe one other treatment. I plan to keep them in a bucket on a drip for a few hours. I have some pipzine I will probably put in the water as well.
Ken did in fact do a freshwater dip on them when he got them. I just happened to be there when he got them in.
I am a little concerned at this point, I am on vacation until Mar 5th and he is going to keep them until then. The thing that concerns me is that he lost his Akindynos to some nasty fin rot etc... and all the tanks are plumbed together. If the Chrys get stressed out they may pick up what they had.
Your pair is on a different system fortunately for you. My pair may not even be alive when I get back.

That is the crossroad isn't it.
What will go away on it's own in a system and what will not.

Ken chose not to disassemble the tank in order to catch/treat the female. She was pretty far gone before he noticed her condition. The male had already died.
