That is very true indeed, sound advice.

Feeding regime, WC & tank condition of each hobbyist is different and different tank contain different kinds of micro-organisms.

IMO QT period is to prevent disease outbreak.
It also allow new fish to gradually get use to conditions in new home, eg: WC regime, diet, etc.

About adding medi during QT process - different strokes for different folks.
Some may just use salt, others use anti biotics (as a precaution) and/or deworm them and even some who only use medi when fish is sick during QT.
