Aquarium Advice Regular
I just ordered some fish (n. Brichardi) online and opted for overnight shipping. The seller said they keep their pH around 7.8. My new tank (no fish in there yet) I set up for Lake Tanganyika with a pH of 8.6-8.8.
I heard that the chemical changes from a long time in the bag can be very toxic as soon as one opens the bag, where CO2 reduces, then the pH spikes, thus allowing ammonia to spike.
Should I not drip acclimate because of the sudden ammonia build up when opening the bag? What about the difference in pH between their water and mine??
