I QT any new fish at least 2 months, and put them through the hyposalinity (no chemicals for me) routine, whether they look sick or not. That also gives them time to get feeding well, and be healthy and strong when introduced to my display tank. I use display tank water at the end when raising the salinity, and that gets them acclimatized prior to the move.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
