My fish are shipping from ORA to my LFS about an hour away. I have asked the lfs to not open the shipping bags or add the fish to their system.
the plan?
— prep new salt water & bring to temp. Temp acclimate fish. Add the fish to the new salt water in buckets & drip acclimate to match ph and salinity?
Or at that point does it even matter? Should I just temp acclimate and put them in since they wouldn’t be in the suppliers water
I’m worried about the ammonia buildup since they will have been shipped.
I also know my salinity is a little on the high side and I’ve been trying to work it down.
tips appreciated. It’s been a really long time since we got new fish
tank is 2 yrs old. Fish being added. Dwarf angel, blenny, goby, dottyback
