	I need a fast answer
SJinNJ Fish Addict Posts: 568 Kudos: 447 Votes: 16 Registered: 21-May-2003	Hey folks, I was just at the LFS when I ran across a lone sterbai cory. I wasn't planning on adding any fish. But I've been looking to increase my group of two, so I scooped him up. Now the problem, I normally put new fish in a QT for a couple weeks before adding them to my big tank. But my QT is being used to treat my black neons for ich. Should I add the new cory to the QT where the neons are being treated, or add him to my big tank? Thanks [span class="edited"][Edited by SJinNJ 2004-07-14 12:55][/span]

But within about a minute another cory came over and nudged him and within 15 minutes he was swimming around with another sterbai. This morning he's very active, so I think he's going to do well.
