I picked up 5 new fish yesterday and put them in my 15 gal QT.

I set up the tank a few hours before picking them up with an AC70 from my cichlid tank, heater and air stone and drip acclimated them and all look well this morning.

Readings after 12 hours in QT:

PH 7.4
Temp 25.5C
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrates 0-5ppm (slight orange tint)

How does this seem? Are once daily readings enough or should I do them more frequently?

Some pics of my new guys - there are also 2 synodontis multis but they're pretty small and hiding out.

Daily readings are fine. Just do 1-2 25% water changes to bring the nitrate down till its yellow. The fish look great!
