Did searches,nothing . lfs has them in the fw section. I asked "aren't these sw?" (which i know they are).He said yes and that he could acclimatize them in an hour or so.Is this true? I thought it takes longer.If it does, what's the correct way to have them in salt water? Thanks.
 
You have to slowly acclimate by raising the level of salt slowly over a period of time(not an hour). What the exact amount of salt raised and time is, I am unsure of.

longer the better but I've been told a few times a min of 1 week. best to start them in fw/light brackish and get them eating and slowly bring up the salinity.
