wondering who here during quarentine treats fish for worms, flukes, externals and internals even though they show no sign of being invested?

if the fish seems healthy for 6 weeks should you treat anyway? if so for what? everything?

doing treatments of prazi, fluben, and metro seems like added un-needed stress to new fish.. i understand maybe treating for worms, thats a hard thing to tell for symtoms but are all meds neccesary?

i've heard better safe than sorry but just wondering if everyone heard does a full treatment on new fish?

I treat for flukes and worms within a week after the new fish arrive. I run them through a 21 day treatment for flukes and with Prazi it will also clean out tapeworms.
Preventive treatment is cheaper than the cure. So it is best to treat them for everything while they are in the Q-tank.
