Well, usually I dont QT, I just happen to have some non used tanks but these guys are known to get something. Currently I don't see anything visible. I'm using Malachite at the moment, thats what I treated my 191 with when it developed fungus.
Was told when they come in they can get a bacterial issue on the ends of all the spikes which mine had. Treated mine for 10 days with Kanamycin and Nitrofurazone. Off 7 days then another 10 days with the meds.
That's what I was told, so far so visible signs but still treating just in case, still need to find a tank for him, not sure which one will be best for it.
Not familiar with all your setups but my pair have been housed with my 25s for 6-7 months and 96s for a couple months and all do well together so for. Havent seen any skirmishes to make me worry, YET.
That tank is full with the 3 scarlets, BEC, Gold Spot, Chocolate, L185 and others. The BEC doesn't like the new guys much. If I put it with the L91 then the L160 will pounce on him just like he did the L191. I'd be afraid to put it with smaller plecos.
