Well, my Naso went through QT ok, and 2 weeks into my 2nd round of fish in QT, a Blueface Angel and Hawaiian Blue Spotted Puffer, all so far have been great and have had zero problems. The thing is this seems like it's going to a little "too smoothly" if you get my drift. I'm almost looking for things to began a treatment. (Haven't treated (hypo/copper) any of the fish yet). When I bought the angel, he had a slightly nicked spine on his dorsal fin, which has healed up perfect. The puffer on like day 2 sort of freaked out and what appeared to scratch himself on a dead clam shell I have in there, but he knocked it across the tank so I don't think he was really scratching. Decided to wait for confirmed Ich spots, but has been good since, haven't noticed him repeat it and clear fins and no spots. Wonder if it a pod or something that freaked him out? I just doubt want to spend 4 weeks of QT for each fish, only to loose them again. I don't like 'preventive treatment' but I will grant that it does stop you from worrying a lot lol.
FWIW, these fish were next to each other at the LFS (I know we talked about this), but I think it may have been a great idea because the puffer showed the angel the ropes of how to eat. The angel is eating great now and takes in about anything you toss in there, mysis, clam on the half shell, flakes, pellets, and lots and lots of angel formula cubes. Want to get a live tree sponge for him, but just too $$ even for the dieing ones the LFS doesn't want to discount. I have about 30lbs of LR in the 55gal and they both hanging out in the same cave.
Oh, one more side concern, does the Hawaiian's beek grow like a dogface's and needs to constantly be grind down?
