Can I put them in now?

I bought a pair of orange skunk clowns from my TRUSTWORTHY (important :p) lfs a little over a week ago. They have 6 saltwater tanks there, and in the past few months only 2 of them have had outbreaks of ich, neither of these 2 contained the pair of clowns I purchased. I know that they have also had this pair for at least a few months now. I have had them in quarantine since I bought them and they have not shown any signs of any illness. They are eating, swimming and playing fine. I would really like to add them to the main tank now because they seem to be doing fine and had been doing fine for months and months at the lfs before I had even purchased them. I don't want my royal gramma to get too used to having the whole place to himself :p Think it's safe enough?

I'm getting pretty impatient about it, lol. So if no one else replies in the next 5-10 minutes I'm gonna go ahead and put them in. My internet has been down all day, would've posted this earlier but I couldn't.

LOL does that mean I can be a LFS and trustworthy? I got 6 tanks lol
I've only had 1 small Ich outbreak in 1.5yrs

I always wait a month with the exception of fish that I get from my LFS which is run by a Marine Biologist of 40yrs (Ellis London has a formal background in ichthyology and marine biology from Boston University. For the past forty years, he has owned and operated Tropic Isle in Framingham. He also teaches at MIT.
They track how long they've had each fish.

sw65galma,
I have not been down that lfs yet. I take it you recommend them out there? How big is he? I can't find any good ones in my local area.
Thanks,
Bruce

Not to hijack this thread but.
It is the best Most knowledgeable LFS in Mass.
Not the cheapest by far, it's been there since 1967!
I drive 1 Hr to get there, pay more for everything I Buy and still proud to say I do that :) It's that good IMHO.
