Cool fish! Cant wait to see them colored up.

Not to rain on the parade but.... do you usually drop the new fish in without quarantine first? I always run my polys through a week of parasite treatment first and then watch them for a while before they go in my main tank. Ever since I have done this I have had zero issues. In the past I had introduced two wc fish that looked completely healthy into an established tank and ended up pretty much losing the entire tank. Granted they were cichlids and not polys but I learned my lesson and always QT my fish before they go in my main tank.

I am also starting to QT all my fish now, regardless of where they come from
