Thanks for all the responses.

Cool. I did not know you could do this to reduce the shock. So once the bucket is full ~1-2 hours, it is fine to add the fish to the main tank or should I wait?

I wanted to get some fish from the local fish store where the water is hard and has a higher pH but as soon as I bring those in they tend to hyperventilate and get into shock. I want to avoid that and hence trying to do this.

I have african cichlids. The pH is ~ 7.2

I am newbie in having Cichlids. I had Cichlids for around 6 months now and I wanted to add more to my tank. When I went to the store to get some, the store person said that my water is too soft and the pH is low. So my question are what should I do to raise the pH. I was suggested to get crushed...
