Aquarium Advice Regular
I am helping a friend set up a new tank. The tank is cycled and several coral and crabs are doing great. His parents are visiting for Christmas and they want to buy him a fish. I usually quarantine fish before putting them in the main tank, but they want to see a fish in the tank. How dangerous would it be to chose a healthy looking $20 clown and just put him in?? Then he would quarantine additional fish in the future. I think if the fish looks healthy and there is no one to stress him out in the new tank he should be OK. Ick and other nasty bugs are already in the tank from the coral and crabs. If new fish aren't stressed or injured they should be fine. Opinions. Thanks. R
