Hi Everyone,
i am looking for some thoughts.....
about a week ago a buddy of mine purchased a golden angelfish along with some other fish (purple tang, butterfly, and mag foxface) from an online vender. Ive been eyeing the golden angels for some time and so when he got the fish, i went over to take a look. we sat around and drank a few while the fish drip acclimated and after an hour or so, he took the angel out and placed it in his display tank, but put the other new fish in his QT. when i questioned him about it, his justification was that the DT is more established than his QT and that the angel has a better chance of survival with all the rocks/algae/pods/etc. What do you all think? I understand he potentially infected his DT, but does the fish stand a better chance going right into the DT?
Note, i QT all my fish.
