I appreciate everyone's responses, Thank You.
Update
I got the fish and added them straight to my display. I know some of you will think I'm an idiot and that is okay. I went in yesterday to check on them, the fish store said I could take them home. They looked to be in excellent condition. My quarantine wasn't ready, and I didn't want to stress them even more with a freshwater dip. I could have waited to bring them home until the QT was ready, I chose not to.
Fish health
Both fish are eating pellets really well, even on the first day which was surprising. One of the fish had some stringy white poop after adding to the tank. Its possible they were eating a lot of mysis, it is also possible they weren't being fed much at all. Both could have caused it. I am also aware it could be an internal parasite. I have PraziPro and Cupramine on hand. I am observing the fish closely. If they start showing signs of internal parasites I will does PraziPro into the Display tank. My QT tank will be up and running this week, so if the show signs of ich I will move them to QT for 76 days and treat with copper. I realize it is likely my DT now has ich, it is only a 13.5 gallon and these may very well be the only fish to go in.
Ammonia and Nitrite are still reading zero. The tank was well cycled but I dosed a little MicroBacter7 Yesterday and today just too be sure.
