I opened the bag to let some water in and, pop goes one of my new firemouths right into the tank :fish2:"dumb fish" how concerned should I be about this particular fish ?
btw 4 firemouths 1 clown pelco for the setup
 
If your pH is very close to where you got them from, I wouldn't worry one bit. I get mine from a supplier in Cali and as soon as the get to my place, they come out of the bag (by hand no nets) and drop right in the tank.
 
I am in Arizona, which our water has a naturally high PH so :hide: I should be alright, he is swimming around and having a grand of a time.
 
Looks like everyone is Ok and the fish are having fun in their new home and settling into their new territories (y) watching firemouths flare is awesome :popcorn:. One of the firemouths has a gash :(, but it looks like its already healing and he is swimming, but I intend to keep a close eye on him for the time being. Also can I add anymore fish to my current setup of 4 firemouths 1 clown pelco or am I maxed out ?
