First saltwater tank

[josh88997766]

Just a question I wanna get a pair of clownfish my lfs has them for 50 for an aquacultured pair I was wondering if I could get a better price online anywhere or different colors for the same price (I know shipping will add cost but that’s fine as long as it’s not crazy)

Tank bred are much less likely to have disease versus wild caught. Shipping causes stress so if you can pick up in person it's better. QT is mandatory whether your LFS does it in house or you do it at home.

I probably don’t need to qt because they are the first fish going into the tank first creatures actually

Uh no, that is a mistake. You either buy from a source that does in house QT or you QT yourself. Otherwise you take a big chance adding fish to your tank.

I always recommend qt'ing fish just to err on the side of caution. Unless you know without a doubt they are 100% QT fish (like Dr. Reef's fish) I would qt them.

My lfs said that they qt all saltwater creatures for 28 days so I should be good?

Great, ask them if they run copper and prazi during that 28 day process.
