I have 4 new guys (2 snowflake clowns, 1 yellow prawn goby, and 1 flame hawk) in a cycled 20g tall QT. I just put the Salifert Ammonia Alert Badge in the tank last night. My flame hawk and goby are eating frozen voraciously. My clowns don't seem to be interested (well, they'll take a look, and sometimes take a pellet then spit it out) in food - which worries me.
I did the API ammonia test and I registered 0.25 - 0.50 ppm last night and did a quick 15% water change. My trouble is, I feel like keeping the chemistry stable in the QT is waaay more difficult than keeping it stable in the 100g display (obviously, due to difference in volume). I don't want to treat with Prazipro until I see my clowns eat consistently.
I guess I need to be talked off the ledge here on just rolling the dice and putting my QT residents in the DT. No signs of ich or other distress (knock on wood).
