I got one too.. I hope they are feeding before LA ships out.. My fear is they come in -> out quick without any conditioning and only have the live arrival guarantee.

I know we have to quarantine or fish, but I normally put only in a small breeder container that hangs outside of my sump with sand and feed the fish, but last time with my potter wrasse was hard because it needed space and I just dumped to my tank and now the fish is happy, so maybe I will do the same

I kind of want to do the same as my display tank has tons of amphipods. but man I have an Achilles, PB, kole and hybrid black that I took great pains to make sure were ick free.

The thought of trying copper with it scares the fish sticks out of me.

I believe these guys have been in QT for at least a few weeks. Thats what the LA rep told me after I missed out on the first one last week.

I won't be QT'ing either. I have better luck by just dumping in the tank.
I will be using an acclimation box with some sand for at least a few days.

I've recently been looking at adding some new fish to my main tank..... the thought of not doing a long QT scares me too much to dump any fish right in.
Good Luck

I have a holding system with sand. Just doesn’t have pods. I may try that with black mollies to check for ick/velvet.
