Also I lay the heaters on the bottom of the tank so they can be left plugged in and don't need to be moved during 90% water changes.
All of the fish are from Hans and there is perhaps no one in the hobby with a better reputation so you were able to skip quarantine but I would not make this a habit. Even if fish are from the same source months later I would still take the safe route and QT everything new I bring into my fish room. Even the best sources in the hobby have a problem from time to time, there are countless stories on these forums of that happening with stock from even the best breeders. Its just not worth the risk!!
