I have a book that really explains well the procedure of getting new fish. It is much more indepth than buying from a lfs. I cant remember everything right now but I will definitely try to find it. Definitly use a quarintine tank. It actually recommeded to use the same water that the fish came in the quarintine tank and then slowly replacing it with new water over 2 weeks. Reason being is that the water comes from farther away and can have remarkable differences (ie different metals/minerals etc). By using the same water and slowly replacing it over a longer period of reduces the stress much more than the procedure when buying fish from the store.
