TM Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Because they are a small fish the ones that are imported are of a decent size. Biggest problem i have found with them was shocking them when poutting them in a new tank, Ph was the issue most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'll carefully add a tiny bit of water to their bag oover a hour or so so they get use to it before adding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 An hour or so is to long i feel. 30 - 45mins at most. Add a small amount every 5mins. Or you could set up a drip system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 A dripping system would be easier. I'll just get it to add a drip every couple of seconds and put about 1/4 - 1/2 a litre in, or is that too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Would really depend on the ph difference. Most fish i buy just get thrown stright in. A bit more care is taken with these types of fish as they can just fall over before your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
