Should I or not?

[fishyness]

I have yet another fish order coming from Liveaquaria. I have always QT'd and have had no problems. Do you think I could just skip it this time because Ive never had a problem or just do it anyway.

 

[cloak]

Do it anyway.

dont gamble on that one fish with a issue could do alot of damage i know first hand...its not a fun thing...if you have a qt might as well use it

it's the time that you don't that it'll haunt you.

It is tempting not to, but it is always a good idea

Just because the other times have been fine doesn't mean this one will be. What kind of fish did you get?

Just toss it in your tank. If it brings something in with it, you won't mind re-buying everything, will you...?

I didnt QT one fish i bought... Bought a goby on tuesday.. On wednesday i went to a special breeder to buy 2 clown fish... Clowns were definatly healthy as he has a very specialized setup...

My goby ended up having ICH, infecting my clowns, and then the goby jumped out of the tank and dried up..

Now I have ICH and i have to setup a QT for 6 months b/c of my "risk"

You meant 6 weeks, right?

Anyway, to the OP, add my vote to QT anyway.

 

[fishyness]

guess I better just do it.:wave:

 

[Kweli]

sorry, 6 weeks

 

[kendaroo]

Do 8 weeks for peace of mind!! Trust me..
