big temperature difference

[subliminalanarchy]

So one of the systems at my work is being treated for ich. The temperature for this system is 86 degrees and has had no visible ich for a little over a week.

Tomorrow we get a new shipment of fish in and many of them are supposed to go into this system. The only way we can acclimate these fish is with the old 'float the bag' method. We usually have no problem acclimating the fish to water around 80 degrees but I'm not sure about this...

I'm going to put as many fish as possible into the other, cooler systems but we may be getting like 100+.

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone has any ideas or anything.

Thanks

I'd try to avoid putting any new fish in an infected system if possible. If you haven't seen any ich for a week, you should be done with it. Start lowering the temperature a few degrees per day.
