Transferring fish without acclimating
I have had a Kole and a Gramma in QT for 3+ months and today is the day they go into the DT
I have the temps and Sg matched perfectly, and the pH readings are a close match (8.15 & 8.05)
DT has no measureable params and the QT has 2.0 NO3 (was time for a WC)
I haven't tested the QT for the other big 3
My plan, to reduce stress, is to net them one at a time, hold the net in a bucket of their water for the walk, and release them in the DT
I'll do this after dinner when only half the DT lights are on
Anyone have any opinions, good or bad ?
Thanks
