Missing an important aspect of receiving shipments though. Many importers match the Ph of the fish in the bags by reducing the tank's ph with acid. Every direct shipper I worked for has done this, unless their systems were already low ph.
Most fish don't drop a "significant" amount. For example, our marine shipments come in pretty regularly at 6.5ish, down from 8. So the ph in the systems gets dropped. I find the freshwater stuff around 6.0 usually.
