Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey I have a couple of questions. First what does FOWLR stand for? I apologize for my ignorance. Second what are the thoughts on acclimating with the drip method? I have heard some controversy on this that it can actually in effect torture a fish and cause it to release ammonias and basically kill itself. Has anyone else heard this? When I get a new tank mate I am currently just floating the bag until the temps match up and then just submersing and letting the fish swim out. My friend keeps driving it home to me that temperature is the critical thing that most fish can survive a salinity change and as long as the rest of the tank levels are supporting fish the new fish should do fine. he owns a store and says his stock loss was cut in half when he went to this method verses the drip method. Any thoughts?? Thanks
