While I have been in the hobby for many years, I will be receiving my first fiah order via this web site. I will be getting a flame angel, racoon butterfly and orange linkia star fish.
I have always made it a habit to quartine all fish purchases however the folks from SWF.com are strongly suggesting I DO NOT quarentine unless I have at least a 55g Q tank. I was planning on Q'ing in a 20g long. They stated that they work hard to Q fish and that should go directly into the display. I'm very concerned since I do not want to contaminate my display which will have hippo and Pwderblue tangs (ich magnets)re-introduced soon after.
opinions?

If you always quarantined and it's always worked (you not losing any fish while in quarantine), keep doing it. I know many people who do not quarantine and are fine, but, if you always did, you might as well not fix something that's not broken.

Thanks for re-affirming.
JWT and others--I'm actually going to need to Q 4 fish and have a 30g and 20g longs cycled and ready. Although understand that Q means isolation, never thought needed to have only 1 fish per tank. Given my dilema, what would you suggest.
