OK Soup, so you're saying that a total of two weeks looking OK and eating OK
should be enough ? I picked up a 6 line the day he came in, and a small yellow
tang that had been there a week. I got the six line the day he came in because
I didn't want to take the chance of having it bought out from under me. That
happened with the last six line they had. The store will only hold a fish for
you for a day. Both have been doing fine in a 29 gal Q tank, interested in
exploring, and ready to eat every time I drop something into the tank. Thanks
for your opinion. Anyone else have a moment to chime in ?

Hopefully whatever fish your buying has sat at the LFS for at least a
week before you buy it. If everything looks good and the fish is seen
eating and swimming well then I would quarantine it for another week at
home. Keep a close eye on it and check for any uncharacteristic spots
or bumps.
