From what I've been reading it is a fallacy that ALL tanks have the parasite. It is argued that if your tank can go a year without any outbreaks that your tank is more than likely free of the parasite. If you have this situation then you could by a hippo and QT him long enough to insure that he is not infected prior to putting him in the tank.
Once I'm over this I will definately QT all fish for 4-6 weeks before they go in.
As much as I like all my fish I hope to heck that my mystery wrasse stays healthy. That was one expensive fish.
