If everyone's looking healthy I may just move them over sooner than later. The QT tank seems like more of a problem stressing out otherwise seemingly healthy fish, but ready online guides keep stressing the importance of quartining new arrivals that's why I went this route.

Thanks for the replys anyways.

I Have never quarantined for that reason...

Some people have luck with newer tanks, others don't. But I agree, I have had pretty good luck without a QT
