My 100 Gal is set up all fish are in. The Geo B , Green severum, and EBJD. They are all around 3-4". I have a 1" Red severum and a Heros Notatus in the 10 Gal QT tank . They have been adjusting for a week now and are active and eating great. My Red severum Mr Pink is getting fresh with the Notatus who is a bit smaller. I'm thinking of moving Mr Pink to the big tank. I would keep Spot the Notatus in the 10 Gal to grow out a bit more.

What so you guys think should I add Mr pink? Or wait till he is a bit larger?

I would give him another week in QT just to make sure then add him but keep the qt tank running just in case the little fella gets bullied and you can whip him straight out again.

I will never not QT any new fish ever again. All the Fish shopes around me have ich I sware. My pictus Cats from Petco are flashing now I'm not suprised. I'm treating the whole 100 gal tank for ich. I'm catching it before it really started effected any of the fish. Every new fish I get lately has been bring ich to the tank. It's getting really old. also it's not cheap treating a 100 gal tank. Its way better to hold the fish for a few weeks then to deal with treating the whole tank. If I had better fish shops I would not worry. I find that the fish I buy online are in much better health then my LFS. I might start only buying fish off line from now on.

My new fish will wait 2 more weeks till I get the big tank clear of ich.
