Go
I am a little embarrassed to ask, oh well I have a 33 gal tank for this my
guestion is can I acclimate more than one fish at a time? I have only done it singly, as I wasn't sure. I use a skimmer, hang on filter, bare bottom. I was thinking of a golden butterfly and a juv. queen angel... but I don't even know for sure if they have goldens.  Hope to hear yea or nea!

i take it that the fish are going to go to another tank after or is this your QT tank. doing many fish isnt a problem.
1st thing is if you have a large enough container to put the fish into while acclimatizing them. then you dont have to worry thinking did I add enough water to which one. its really easy. And remember to not put the same bag water back into the aquarium.

hey!
It's just my quarantine tank, 33gal. I will move them to their new home in a month. How many fish could I do safely I know size is a factor, ah females he he. Of the fish I mean. But I am curious. thanks, Leah ________ ZG1200A Last edited by Leah; 01-20-2011 at 10:45 AM.

Leah its going to depend on your QT tank, remember the average time in a QT is about 4-6 weeks depending on what you are acclimatizing. so a 33 gal is going to be not that big once you add say 3-5 fish in there
you can always make a QT take out of a 50 gal rubber maid tub. let me know and keep us informed of your process. mike

Sorry for posting this but I found this interesting "remember the average time in a QT is about 4-6 weeks depending on what you are acclimatizing".
If a person was setting up a tank now, and wanted to add a fish in a month, should they also be setting up the QT tank and buying the fish now and keeping him in QT for the next month.

I did not know that you could do that, how, Iam interested. How do you put
a filter and skimmer on. I only have remora skimmers could I use that? What would you put in for them to hide? I guess it would be bare bottom? thanks Leah ________ Honda VT800 Last edited by Leah; 01-20-2011 at 10:45 AM.
