Shipping Guide

Why is this important?  

Your new fish needs to adapt to the new environment gradually.The water that the fish is packed in has different temperature and water parameters than the new environment. Goldfish are extremely sensitive to even minor changes in these parameters, so proper acclimation is the key to ensuring better health for your new goldfish.

  Before the fish arrive

• Make sure your tank or quarantine tank is set up at least 48 hours ahead with aged water.
• Setting up a separated quarantine tank is highly recommended.
• Testing the tank’s water condition especially temperature.

  Floating Method (Checklist)

Additional Attention for Acclimate new fish during wintertime: * Please put the open box ( leave the fish bag inside ) into the room for your new fish to get used to the room temperature for 2 hours then follow acclimate checklist below *

  NOTICE: THE WATER IN THE SHIPPING BAG SHOULD NEVER BE ADDED TO YOUR TANK  

• Turn off aquarium lights or switch to dimmed mode. Never open the box in bright light.
• Float the sealed bag in the aquarium for 15-25 minutes. You should not be opening the bag at this step. This will allow the water to adjust slowly to the temperature of the tank.
• Open the bag (DO NOT release water inside the shipping bag directly into your tank water) after floating, check the temperature of the water inside the bag and your tank’s water. Make sure the maximum difference is 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slowly add tank water to the shipping bag. We recommend using a small cup, adding slowly every 4 minutes until the shipping bag is full or almost full of water.
• Adding a few drops of SeaChem Prime (optional) is recommended to make sure the ammonia level in the bag is under control. Float the bag for an additional 5 minutes.
• Slowly take the fish out of the bag and place into the tank by hands, remove the shipping bag (DO NOT release water inside the shipping bag directly into your tank water)
• ATTENTION, DO NOT FEED YOUR FISH ANYTHING FOR AT LEAST MORE THAN 24 Hrs.
