Re: Brought home....
Just float for 10 or 15 and drip untill the salinity in the bag matches.Turn him loose and give him time to settle in.
I wasnt going to bring up the Q-tips

Re: Brought home....
Hey now.... I knew I'd hear something about those. Maybe I should've entered my name here as Q TIP? OK, so believe it or not the salinity is almost dead nuts even right now.

Re: Brought home....
I figure a couple more drips and maybe 1 1/2 hours and we'll be there. Lights will also be off! Cheers to you too bro!

Re: Brought home....
I just read a really large article on dottybacks. Should be a fun fish for you. Make sure you post a pic as soon as its at home in your tank as stated above

Re: Brought home....
Good luck with your new fish! Don't panic if you don't see him for a few days. It can take any new fish up to a week or two to get comfortable in their new home. Don't worry if it's not eating right away -- it will be okay for quite a while not eating if it's scared.
