I had to acclimate mine from LFS water (fresh) to my tanks water (1.012). I did it by dripping him for about a half an hour.

Keep an eye out for my thread in the near future. It's going to be about all of the fish stores from ft wayne to indy.
The fish store that has the dats is in marion. They cut me a slight deal and sell the micros for $30 @3-4"

micro from my LFS is 19 for a 2 incher, so I guess you got a great deal

No more Dats. Anybody have info on the acclimation thing? The Indiana LF thread will be up by tomorrow night.

Levi, you can set up an extra tank, and I know you have one, with the salinity hes currently in, and slowly acclimate him to FW over time. Is he currenty in truly brackish salinity? You said he was an indo right?
