my LFS friend showed me how he aclimates mono's, mollies and puffers to his saltwater setup...

he put them in a bag... floated them... made a hole in the bag so the saltwater mixes with the freshwater... then in an hour he let them go...

that was it... he said that aslong as you go from fresh to salt the fish can handle it...

and i saw him do it friday... the fish were still alive today...

interesting - - i wold be a little concerned bringing a brackish water fish to straight salt that fast and wouldn't even entertain a fresh to salt especially that fast - -but i'm not going to argue with something that worked - - I'm sure theres other people here that will do that for me, lol - -just exercise caution bud - -snowboss
