New fish

[Tsweet]

I have purchased a new coral beauty angel and a new diamond goby. I acclimated for 2.5 hours to the QT tank
Question is how long before I can add them to the main tank? They both seem healthy so far and are eating although the goby is skidding and is missing his sand I suppose.

Are you treating with copper? Has any of your other fish been qt?

I am not treating with copper but I am with Seachem Paraguard. No other fish are QT'd except the 2 new fish that were just purchased (CB angel and Diamond Goby). I do have copper to treat but did not want to due to the harshness to the fish. As of now they are not showing any signs of disease. They have been in the QT tank for 4 days now. They are eating and active. The water parameters are good and i am going to do a 50% water change tonight (2nd one in 4 days) to help control the ammonia in such a small tank (10 gallon).
