Should I Quarantine a Marine Betta?

[SoloChromis]

Soon I'll be getting my hands on a marine betta, but due to their extreme hardiness, as well as my 20g quarantine (currently holding a Bleeker's and springeri damsel), I'm contemplating skipping the quarantine period. Would this be a stupid decision? Thanks :beer:

Where are you getting it from?

QT him. I would remove the damsels just in case though. I have a betta with damsels and he doesn't bother them but he was in qt by himself where his feeding habits were definitely domesticated.

Quarantine everything including your brother if you plan to add him to your tank. As mentioned above, having him share tank space with small fish is not a great idea.

I may end up moving the tiny (and I mean tiny) springeri to a smaller 10g quarantine just in case, but the Bleeker's damsel is a good size, and feisty to boot, so I'm not concerned at all about him.
