Ok heres my question, if I use a qt tank to acclimate fish before placement in the main tank how dow you move fish to main tank without causing stress all over agian. seems to me that the process of netting and moving the fish again will aso cause stress ion the fish and a possible outbreak of ich.:confused:

The purpose of the QT tank is to get rid of any unwanted organisms like Ich. When you place the fish in your display, it should be parasite and disease free. Use the same acclimation method as introducing to the QT.

the stress will also be reduced because the fish should now be disease free, eating well(healthy), and acclimated to your main tank parameters
