I find them hardy as long as they are eating at the store and treated for flukes. They just ship poorly.
I put them in a 25g that has tons of microfauna for a few weeks to months before treating them or moving them to the DT.
I decided to go ich free for my next upgrade and put my 4 leopards through TTM (with fresh sand every time) and even though I screwed up on one of the transfers, they all came through fine.
