I've made two separate purchases from live aquaria. I've lost every fish. I placed them in QT. Within the 14 day guarantee I've lost all of them. I don't medicate the QT. I'm wondering if I should? Anyone have any input?

Anything bought from LA should go into a medicated tank ASAP. The commercial fish distribution system is so rife with parasites and illness I’m not sure you can get a completely healthy fish anymore.I've made two separate purchases from live aquaria.

I still use LA. I’ve had 3 orders in the past 6 months, mostly wrasses, all successful. I use the procedure below. I think my failures in the past were somewhat due to the huge salinity difference between my tank (35 ppt) and incoming fish (usually about 23 ppt).I've made two separate purchases from live aquaria.
