QT time

Just wondering how long you all keep new aquisitions in a QT tank before adding them to the maink one.

You should quartine a fish for 2 weeks, in that time you'll be able to see if it has ich or something else as it will usally present itself within that period or short.

It's better to quartine longer then to place a fish that has something into the main tank and kill your other fish.
