I try to slowly acclimate my fish before they go into the tank and only buy fish that the references tell me will be happy with my chemistry but am beginning to question how much it matters.
I was at the fish store when they got a shipment of fish in and they emptied the bags into empty buckets and the buckets immediately into tanks. I asked about acclimatization and was told they were all tank raised fish so didn't need it.
And when I walk through the store the water from one tank goes into the overflow tube ind down to the tank beneath it and all the water goes into the same filter.
So what does it matter?
