I had a QT tank when I started this hobby, but it soon turned into a display tank. I never had a problem in the 20 some odd years I've been keeping fish and personally I thought it was a waste of money to have a QT/Hospital tank. Well, the tides have changed, since this past Sunday. I purchased 4 ottos which wipped out most of my tank, and my fish are still dying regardless of the Marcyn and Marcyn-two and Melafix treatments I'm giving them. I feel so bad for them, but don't want to euthenise and I'm hopefull some will pull though. So with this......QT every fish, regardless of where you get it from. I'm going out and purchasing a basic 10 gallon tank with no lid, so that will force me to use it as a QT plus I'm using black magic marker and writting QT on it, so I won't be tempted to use it as a display tank.
