I can understand where your coming from here. *HUGS* Most people don't QT fish until their already sick. When the fish is already heavily infected sometimes the stress of the netting & being all cramped into a small bare bone tank with all the tankmates is just more then the sick fish can take.

That's why its always its Preventative Measure to quarantine everything before hand preventing future stress & problems. Resulting in healthy fish.
That is exactly my point (sort of)

The fish I quarantined went directly from the LFS into quarantine. They invariably became sick and died. The fish that went directly into my tank from the LFS did NOT get sick. Hence my experience says DON'T QUARANTINE.

But *HUGS* to you regardless.
