I agree. I only buy my fishes from 2 LFS only. I dont QT my fishes. I need to physically see that
The fish is healthy and eating. Buying online doesnt allow me to do that. It is cheaper to buy online if the fish survives.
I never had luck QTing a fish. They always die.
I dont QT anymore. The fish seems to live longer.
I always make sure when I buy a fish that it looks healthy, eating, and no evidence of disease.
I also buy only from 2 LFS.
I feed 4-6 times a day.
Your goal is to keep the fishes alive. If they are eating and not stress out I would keep them jn the tank. Boost their immuse system up. Don’t add any new fishes for about 2 months. If you try to catch them and dip them Inthink that would do more harm than good at this time.
