I don't typically quarantine.

None of the fish I've lost was due to illness. Even if I quarantined, a lot of the fish that died were in the tank longer than I would have quarantined for.

The fish I've lost were mostly due to bad choices on my part. The cleaner wrasse harrased most of the fish that died and killed them. The matted filefish never ate. The Dragon goby seemed to only eat what he could catch and slowly got skinny.

The 3 fish I have right now are some of the first ones I bought almost a year ago now. The engineering goby is getting quite large and is starting to venture out to eat when I feed instead of just grabbing what he can. The bi-color blennie no longer hides and changes colors when I walk up to the tank. The Citrinis goby (first fish I bought) is a little pig and will eat everything I let it.
