Re: dying cardinals`

["Susan Welenofsky" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

Does she bring the fish home right away and acclimate them to the water first 
before dumping them in? I like to put my new arrivals in a tupperware 
container, gradually added new water to the old, then I net the fish and put 
them in the tank without the shop water. I've lost a couple of green tetras 
when I took my time coming home from the Fish Store in Seattle to Tacoma.

  When we ge them in from Florida we sit on them for a week (Conway Tropical 
  Fish), because your right a good amount can die at times. Try asking your 
  lfs how long they have had the batch. - Aaron Frymire
