I'm getting ready to wrap up a full QT/Fallow period for my tank. Should I QT a Biota Yellow Tang or add directly to my tank. I'm picking it up from a local reefer who had a QT'd DT.

I do have a temporary tank set up to observe it while my QT finishes. As long as everything seems fine I'll likely add it directly to my DT drive it is an aquaculture fishI would fully quarantine it, unless you know for certain that the person you are getting it from did a good job with biosecurity.
Fish diseases often show up after a fish has been transferred, due to the stress of that event.
I'm hoping it's alright. The person I'm getting it from is rehoming it because his purple tang has been bullying itI would observe it for couple weeks making sire the move didn't stress it out to crazy. I just got done quarantining one for 6 weeks.
Unfortunately the Tang didn't end up making it. He was doing good in the holding tank but didn't last 2 weeks in my displaythere are several posts and experiences with flukes and parasites with biota, unfortunately. even more so because it is coming from another system, you definitely need to quarantine and potentially prophylactically treat depending on your own goals for your system.
Sorry to hear.Unfortunately the Tang didn't end up making it. He was doing good in the holding tank but didn't last 2 weeks in my display
It sucks but it happens. I'm done buying expensive fish and coral though. They always die for me. Time for a big community tankSorry to hear.
