Question: Does anyone here keep neon gobys (or other small cleaner fish) and do they really eat parasites like ich and velvet off fish, or out of the tank when they are not attached to fish? I was thinking of getting a couple if they really work. I made the stupid mistake of putting my first fish I bought into my main tank w/o quarantine, and that is why nemo (now an only child) is now out until the 20th. Plus I am thinking for just keeping that little 5 gallon up and running and keeping any new fish I buy in there for a while to make sure they don't have nasties, if I got the gobys or whatever they could just hang out for a while till I filled up my main tank w/ fish like a "watch and cleaning period" . . . How long should I quarintine fish when just bought? I know some of ya'll don't qt at all thats fine for you but I have decided I do. It is not that I don't trust where I get fish from but I trust me more

So right now here's my setup:
50g hex, bakpak skimmer, simple hob filter I run carbon in, 250mh pendent, 25ish pounds live rock & bout 3 inches of live sand I set up my tank beginning of November. Everything in there is doing great I even have some purple algae starting to grow on the glass, there are 5 small sand-sifting snails, 10 astra snails, a brittle star (creepy sob but loves to eat crap off the bottom) I have a 5 gallon qt and my one little nemo is set to go into the main tank Jan 20th.
