Nice pfp to. I noticed when you acclimated the tetras, you only let the bag float in the water, then put them in the tank. This will acclimate them to your water temperature but not your PH and what not. It probably won’t matter with hardy fish but in the future you should put them fish in that bucket then every 10 min or so put a cup of your water in with them, then net the fish out and put them in the tank(without getting the stores water in) like you said. You can look it up online for a better example.
Ph takes days if not weeks to acclimate to if you ask me. If you watch king of diy for example he always uses this method and I have also been using the same method for a decade
Very nice stone! I love my Shellies , its always fun getting new fish🙂👍🏻
New fish is an addiction haha I appreciate the comment
Small chiclids are something I’ve been getting into lately. It would be hard for me to send some back. Nice tanks dude. I like the gravel.
Thanks man, yeah it’s hard to send them back!
