Here's my current situation. I have 2 Occelaris clowns, they've been in my mixed reef nano for about 6 months. They were not treated or quarantined when I added them. They have been doing great. They are the only fish in the tank. I have a cleaner shrimp and CUC in there with them.
I just purchased a Helfrichi Firefish and Green clown goby on Saturday with the intention of placing in the same tank. I currently have them in a separate nano. The firefish is doing great and eating a lot but appears to have some fin damage, presumably from previous tank mates at the LFS. The green clown goby is hiding mostly but I've seen him eat and he looks ok.
I spent a good bit of money on these fish and I don't want to loose any of them. I was considering removing the clowns from the display tank and treating all 4 fish in one quarantine tank, they putting them back in the display tank after quarantine. Does this sound like a good plan or should I be doing something else with them.
I haven't quarantined any fish before but I'm trying to do things right now. Your advice is appreciated.
