Today I'm going to be receiving some W/C Mpimbwe Frontosa from littleafricaaquatics. I've never done the mail thing before.
My question is what is the best way to go about acclimating fish that come from same day air freight? I read on aquabid, someone suggested that he would not drip or add ANY water into the fishes bags, because it would throw off the PH and other water parameters very quickly - making a very unstable and unsuitable environment for the fish in the bag.
I'm thinking back to when I used to work at my LFS. We always used to drip into containers. I think thats about the same think as getting fish from air mail.
So... whats the best way... to drip or not to drip... that is the question.
