My fish have been QT'd for 3 weeks and 2 days and everyday I think to myself "5 days early couldn't hurt."
I know its wrong but I just wanna see them in there

If they look healthy now and looked healthy at the lfs, I would not hesitate to put in dt. Good luck.

I say 3 weeks is more than enough time even if they were sick and if they look healthy! Put them in the tank and enjoy them.

They look healthy and eat like pigs lol

Since the purpose of QT is mainly to determine that any disease the fish may carry has time to run its course, I would not advise breaking QT until the time is up. It may look healthy, it may eat like a pig, but if it still harbors whatever disease it may have come with, you could potentially infect everything in your tank.

There is a REASON for the time frame. It is not just to make you wait.

We live in the time of a pandemic. If you or a friend is diagnosed with Covid, would you break QT because you are impatient or "feel" healthy?

Think about it.

Even though I didn't qt my fish,I do believe if start something then may aswell finish it,and how long you planning ?
Say 30 days in copper then another 1-2 weeks prazi pro? Or 1-2 weeks observation after copper ?

Or if its just observational and no meds added In last 3 weeks then I maybe tempted to put in 1 week early,but again if you nearly there which you are as just remembered you said 5 days early doh,5 days is nothing just wait it out ^_^

Keep the faith!!

This is a long term process. Just like you can't feed a baby a Ribeye steak, you can't rush a reef tank.

Enjoy watching the fish in the QT tank, just like you enjoy the baby gooing and gawing. before you know it, he will be stealing your credit card and screaming at you for what a horrible parent you were. lol
