I really hope this doesn't happen but I would of waited at least 3 more weeks before bringing them home. I waited 8 weeks before I added my fish back to the display when I had velvet, and even then I was scared they might re-get it. Thankfully they didn't, but everywere you read says to leave your tank fish free for a minium of 6 weeks because the velvet virus can live in the system for that long, even without fish to host on.
