I completely agree. I kept my fuzzy in qt for about two months, not because he ever showed signs of disease, but because I wanted to be certain that he was eating well. He started on live ghost shrimp then, after a few weeks, I started with frozen krill soaked in vitamines. I put it in a net and had to 'release' it then catch it, the thawed krill, several times and sometimes shake it to get him to eat. Then he started going after it quicker and quicker. Silversides are still far too big for my fuzzy, but he goes after the formula foods that I put in for my other fish. Here is a pic of my Lion in the display.
