I usually qt mine for a week. I always have the temp on high in my hospital tank.

I quarantine for three weeks, possible fur depending on fish and any treatments required.

Depends on the fish. At least 2 weeks as a rule but the rest is up to the fish. Been as long as a couple months for a few.

I never quarantine. Don't do what I do I understand the reason to quarantine. I just never do it.. I kinda feel you keep it in another tank then eventually you move him into your main tank and you have to catch and net him just like you just got it same amount of stress moving it to a new tank.

I like to give them at least 10 days, but some have been longer from an iffy source. Some I don't when they come from someone I know well and see their setups regularly.

Depends on the species in question. For the species I keep, from a stress perspective, it would be alot more stressful to go straight into a tank full of aggressive fish than to go into a solo tank for awhile. Plus, I can pellet train and I assume every fish has parasite of some sort and would prefer not putting them in my displays either.
