I'm picking up a copperband today and will be putting it into my tank. My question is should I put him into my propagation tank (50 gal) for a week or so before putting him in with the other fish that will most likely want to pick on him at first. They don't go out to kill just territorial issues (yellow tang, and regal tang). Usually the yellow tang is the most aggresive for a day or so.
Just curious thinking that if I put him out there for a week or two he can get somewhat over the stress of the shipping and then move him to the main tank after he's settled down.
What do you all think. BTW, the system is plumbed into the main system so water chemistry will be identical for the move later. And before you ask, no I have no quarantine tank so throw your flames if you want, but 90% of us don't.
