I QT for about 1 month,I feel in this time the fish is no longer stressed from being captured and transported who knows how many times before getting to your home.You can keep an eye on it easier in QT than you can when its hidding in your main tank, and catch any health problems and deal with them more effectivly.I dont medicate unless theres a problem,I dont see any reason to add more stress.QT is a good place to fatten up the fish and make sure its strong and healthy before puting it into the main tank where it has to compete for food and territory.Besides cant have an empty tank in the house .
