When you buy a enew fish for your tank, do you quarantine him to make sure he has no diseases before you put him in the tank? My original supplier has gone out of business and i am a little scared of what could be introduced to my fish from any new store that i purchase from. Yeah yeah I know the basics of checking out the other fish in the tanks to see how they are doing but I thought of see what you guys do when you buy a fish from the store that you have no history with.
Do you quarantine your new fish

I laugh at people who loose a whole tank because they rush or skip quarantine. Quarantining has saved me enough money to justify a QT tank constantly setup.
My QT tank is currently housing some fry so no QT at the moment. Doesn't look like I'm getting anything new till they get a little bigger and are transferred to a tub for grow out.
I always Q a new fish.. I'll have a new fish in either a 10g or 29g depending on the fish size.. usually for about 3-4 weeks.
