Quarantining Butterflyfish

Thanks for all the info guys. I think, for now, I'm going to just keep him in QT for a few weeks to observe. I do trust the fish from LADD as I've never had an issue from them. Fish from anywhere else will definitely go through 4-6 weeks in the QT with preventative treatments, including EM-Pro for deep water fish.

Figured I'd share a few pics from my phone. He's already picking at the rock and has eaten some Rods Pacific Plankton soaked in fish oil. He's very active already.

In the QT:

Great looking fish, BFs are very active, and have great personality.

Thanks guys. He's eating well already and was going after NLS pellets yesterday. He ate a few times yesterday, include Rods Pacific Plankton, really enjoyed bloodworms, and then a bit of Rods towards bed time.

Saw him swimming around on the way out this morning so looks like he made it through the night, which is always key for me. If they make it past the first few nights, I usually don't have a problem out of them in terms of shipping & new environment stress.
