I've never been a big fan of throwing a new fish into tank transfer, or any aggressive treatment, right away. Flames are quite delicate and can die for no apparent reason. I much prefer to give them some time in QT to get acclimated and eating. Many of the diseases that can pop up aren't immediately fatal, so you really do have some time.
