    I know the motto of going slow, but is there any point of quarantining the first fish going in a new tank after cycling is stable ?

    Yes, I agree. I see it as, the first fish is just as likely to have ich(just an example) or any disease as any other fish you will put in there.

    It would be the same point for doing it at any other time.
