Is it possible for rosy reds to pass on parasites and diseases?

I think it possible i quarintine my feeders 2 weeks. Although I do have a reliabkle source that I have never had a problem with and will occassionally feed w/o the QT period. I think i'm going to try to breed convicts or something easy and prolific to use as feeders.
