I understand things can probably change at the drop of a hat... do you have a number in your head to say ok I feel good these fish are going to make it added my first 2 clowns had a jump out one night luckily found the lil guy just in time and hes been doing great since, but just curious if everyone has that well they made it day

Not really. I do tend to un-clench after about a week.

That is usually about the time you will start to see a feeding and behavioral pattern. It will also give you time to observe any aggression issues. if all is well, he should have settled right in.

If they make it through 6 weeks of QT I start to have hope. I progressively relax at 1 month, 6 months and a year in the display.

I don't give them a name until I personally see them eating in the DT. This is after a 30 day QT with meds.
