Main problem is all fish carry bacteria...Fish from source A may be immune to the bacteria and not show any illness....then you put healthy fish from source B and they are not immune to the same bacteria....hence all your fish from source B get sick...

I have fish from several sources in the same tank. To do it properly the new fish should be in QT for 6 to 8 weeks then you add the least desirable fish from the main tank to the qt tank. If that fish does not get sick in 6 weeks you can put all of them in the main tank.
The easy way is to buy all your fish for one tank at the same time from the same place. Then there is no qt since they are all going into a tank with no other fish. Don T.
