Unfortunately I'm not real strong in the quarantine Department
Actually, it can work the other way. Running copper at levels below therapeutic can actually mask things like Ich and Velvet without killing them. It may give you a false sense of security. Maybe @Humblefish or @melypr1985 can expound on that more.I rolled the dice when I bought mine, didn't quarantine, and we got lucky with a nice healthy fish. That said, I doubt I'd take the chance again. Don't some LFS's use copper and other stuff in their tanks to minimize sick fish? I know it's not the same as quarantining. but better than nothing........
What about waiting for one on Diver's Den?

Thank you Humblefish! I was hoping I was correct with this. I would hate for people to have a misconception on something this important!^^ This is true. Subtherapeutic copper eliminates some of the free swimmers but not all. A few attach and become trophonts on the fish (usually inside the gills.) So what you get is a "slightly infested" fish, but the parasites come back with a vengeance once he/she is removed from copper water.
