Daniella, do you treat all new fish hen you qt before you introduce them to the display tank, or do you use it only as needed?

If you have decided to use a quarantine tank then you should do so with every purchase otherwise there is no benefit to it. Not all pathogins are visible on the fish or cause immediate odd behavior.
