Unless there is sign of disease then do not treat. Go slow and observe longer if you only suspect something. If you see no signs for 6-8 weeks then you are probably good. I now do 3-8 weeks depending on the source of the fish. I have 9 fish from ORA in my QT and they will get a minimum of 3 weeks. I give LADD 4 weeks minimum and any fish from the normal chain of custody will get 6-8 weeks. All these times are assuming no signs or symptoms of disease.
I also QT everything that goes in my tank except dry sand or dry rock. This even includes macro algae. You never know what a drop of water from another system has in it! I have been wiped out twice now, both times this year and will not go through that again if at all possible!
