OK. Most article says acclimate the fish slowly. In my case, I'd like to get rid of some fish and get a small Blue Hippo Tang. I'm going to acclimate them. However, another website suggests to give a preventative Bath/Dip of freshwater before assimilating the Blue Hippo because of their tendency to carry ich.
Now, wouldn't the fish go into a shock when it is brought to a freshwater situation straight from the LFS bag?
So how is this? Do I first put the thing in a bucket of freshwater, then syphon from the SW tank through a small tube until I full up a 5G bucket?
How is this?
they said Blue Tangs' most common deaths come from wrong acclimation, besides ich. Some websites also share that they meet people who suddenly have ich problems (white spots) after assimilating a Blue Hippo into their healthy tank.
Can someone tell me what the right thing to do is?
