I picked up a pair of fish from a local breeder and have them in my 10 gal Q tank since 9/12/10. I would like to move them to the 55gal community tank but dont want to move them too soon. So my question is how long do you keep fish in the Q-tank before moving them to their permanent home? I was thinking a month should be enough time for any sort of problems to appear.

I usually keep them in the Q tank a month if I don't see any problems. It also gives them a chance to feel better, stronger, after being jostled about in moving from tank to tank.

Mediate as needed and start the month after meds are removed from the tank.
