I purchased a tiny green coris wrasse from my LFS 3 weeks ago. I did not do any preventative treatment. My QT tank matches the LFS' salinity at 1.017. He was very skinny and pale when I picked him up but now has good coloration and a very fat belly.
Considering he hasn't shown any signs of ick or dropped dead from velvet, can I go ahead and add him to my DT? Are there any parasites that I have to watch out for at this point?
When I asked, my LFS did not recommend allowing evaporation to raise the QT tanks salinity before acclimation to my DT. They said to keep the QT consistent and then do it in one shot over the course of 2 hours (1.017 -> 1.025). Is this the best course of action?
