QT the first fish?

I am almost ready to add the first fish to my system. It will probably be a pair of percula clowns. Is it ok to not quarantine the first fish to a new system if no other fish are added for a month or so? Plus, the clowns would be captive raised.

Its better to QT. Otherwise, if they are sick, or have ich, then you can treat them right off without you, your tank and your fish being stressed by getting the clowns out and then placing them in QT after the fact.

The first fish can bring a parasite into your main tank. QT. Just like Terry said.
