Should I risk not QT'ing my new fish?

never had a problem with TR from live aquaria. they have been in QT there as well so you shouldnt have a big problem at all

I agree with most here... If it's between putting them in your display with only one other fish, or putting them in a QT with bad water quality, there's no doubt I'd go with the main tank. Especially if it's from a reliable source.

Well, I got them in on saturday, FedEx messed up shipping by a day, and it was like 6*f here, so one of the little guys did not make it .

So I have one in my tank now and he seems to be doing well. Is it normal for them to wiggle quite a bit as juvi's?

As long as the fins are not clamped against the body, yes. If the fins are clamped, it typically indicates some issues.

If they are not from the Diver's Den of LiveAquaria then they are comming from the wholesaler in LA. Doesn't matter then if they are tank raised or not. They still get thrown into the same system as all the other fish from around the world. So they get exposed to whatever.
