currently I am qt 2 clowns and a melanurus wrasse which i purchased about week a ago. All the fishes are doing good and no signs of any illness, Should I be looking for any particular diseases.
Clowns are tank breed and the store I purchased them from had these guy for about 6 months or so.
Melanurus wrasse not sure how long it was in the store.
 
for clown's, Brook is the big killer. only thing you can do is just wait a few weeks (4 recommended), and if it lives, it doesn't have Brook --- easy enough :) in the meantime, look for skin that looks to be peeling off, hard breathing, laying on bottom, etc. since the store had them for 6 months, they have likely been exposed to a lot of things from all the fish coming in and out. keep them fed and happy and you will see soon enough if all is ok.

wrasses, keep an eye out for Ich (white spot), heavy breathing, laying around excessively.

what QT process are taking? observation, TTM, Copper/CP, Hypo? and for how long and what levels?

thanks, currently only observation, but if you recommend i can do copper. I just don't want to put fish through a medication which they don't need. But again better be safe then sorry.
