Quarrantine

[Guest clownfish4]

If you buy a fish and it shows absolutely no sign of disease or troubles, how long should you leave it in quarrantine?  Should you still wait 4 weeks even if they never show a single sign?

I think four weeks is a good number if you don't see anything to worry about.  Here's a nice article I have bookmarked on quarantining.

4 weeks, I have had a pair of blue stripe clowns look great for weeks then one died on day 15 and the other on day 16 from brook. I mean these fish were flawless and eating great. Then the tough part is letting the QT go fallow for a month before you try another pair(if you want to save the QT's biological filtration)
