About 2 weeks ago I got a trio of chalk basslet. Unfortunately they had an internal parasite I did not have the medication for on hand. I didn’t notice any of the signs until about 3 days ago and I ordered the medication right away. By the time it got here yesterday two of them had passed. I was wondering if I could add 3 or 4 new ones to make a new group. And if I did do this should I leave my current one in qt and introduce them there or move him into the display tank first then get the new ones and introduce them later on?

It shouldn't be to hard to add new ones to a group and if you have a big enough qt then I would introduce them in there but if it's a little small then you shouldn't have to many problems adding them later because you plan to add a decent number which will dilute any aggression (although I doubt you would have any unless the existing ones are very mature).
You be unlikely to have any problems with a good sized qt like that. I would advise adding plenty of hiding places though as they do appreciate their own areas away from each other and you will probably find they spread out quite a lot.
