Quarantine or Not

dqualls · 07/19/2007, 04:47 PM

My LFS just called to say she has the Kole Tang I've been looking for. It's about 3". I have a 10gal quarantine tank setup that has a few frags in it. Will this tank be lg enough to put the kole in for a few weeks or should I just chance it and put him in my 120gal display. I have always quarintined my fish but a few people have said they think it is more stressful especially on a tang to make so many adjustments. Any thoughts?

it'll be fine in a 10 gallon qt........they stay in stores in tanks half that size for longer sometimes. Tangs of any fish definitely need to be quarantined the most cause they love to get ick.
