Acclimating Thai Imports

[monroe0704]

I understand the bettas in Thailand are kept in completely different water conditions... how can I ensure the health of my incoming imports? How can I acclimate them to the different chemical levels found in our water vs Thai water?

Thanks! Hopefully they aren't DOA; they are irreplaceable!

They're going to Linda today right? I'm picking up my fish tomorrow and helping her pack and ship Wednesday.

IMO acclimating imports should take a few days, floating first day and adding water the next few days and then releasing them. Do you have IAL?

[monroe0704]

No I don't have any IAL :/ But yes, my shipment went out yesterday. I hope Linda gets back to me soon for the payment! Oh, and don't steal my fish! :P

[MrVampire181]

Lol I won't. She said she'll be emailing everybody to get payment because she wants to ship all the fish Wednesday.

Do you want me to take some vingegar eels and microworms and place them in the box with your bettas?

[monroe0704]

I was interested in microworms and i suppose the vinegar eels wouldn't hurt either! That'd be amazing! Can I paypal you for those?

[MrVampire181]

The price is $15 total for microworms..$10 for the culture $5 shipping but you can just paypal me $10, $5 for microworms and $5 for vingegar eels. I'll PM you the email.
