QT Captive Bred Fish?

Hi guys. I just got back from the LFS and picked up 2 false percs. I QT my first 5 fish (Chromis). The LFS also had them QT. When I picked up my clowns, they said they weren't QT'd. They said that they don't QT captive bred fish.

Should I QT them as well? I suspect that they don't QT them because there wasn't anything for them to be exposed to.

Should I QT these guys? Other than the fact that I have the ability to QT them :)
 
I would put all fish in hypo that you get. Theres no reason why you shouldn't and if you didn't then your always taking a chance of diseases getting into your tank.

Quarantine everything you bring home. Never trust the LFS.
