Do you quarantine any of your fish?

if hes not showing any signs of stress now, then put him in the main tank before you kill it from stress.

scopas are fairly hardy tangs, so you shouldnt have an issue with it, especially if hes eating now.

Thats my 2 cents!

I don't personally quarantine anything. But will sit and wait on a fish in the LFS normally for a week or so. But I agree. Scopas are generally quite hardy so you shouldn't have to worry about it assuming your tank is well established.

Nope, and still have the same fish i have had for over 2 years.

everyone is going to have a differant opinion on quarenteneing fish, and mine is.

Why stress them out more??

you wouldnt have bought the fish if it had ich, or disease on it right?

i have another 120G that is always up and running as a hospital tank, and in good conditions, that i use if a fish gets hurt in my tank.....
