QT problems


I rencently set up a 65 gallon QT tank. It has 2 female flame wrasse, a filament flasher wrasse, a lubbocks wrasse, and small powder blue. All fish, except the tang are showing SERIOUS signs of stress. The wrasse are all on the bottom turned on their sides, even the lubbocks which was in my display tank for several months eating like a pig. The other fish are recent purchases. The lubbocks was the only fish in the display....I had ich in it and made the decision to take him out and QT him with the others. Ammonia is zero, salinity is 1.022. What gives?

I agree,.. I always put a whole bunch of random PVC fittings in my Q tank for the fish to hide.

I also paint three sides of the tank so the fish feel more secure.
