So for the last couple of meetings I have been trying to pick up some yellow labs to add color to my tanks. I do my usual routine of acclimating them to my tanks by leaving them in their bags in the tanks for a couple of hours so that they get used to the water temperature and then add them to the tank (just the fish - I dont add the water that they came in to the tank). I will also slowly add some tank water to the bags so that the fish can get used to the water that they are about to live in.
My water parameters are all in line to where they should be (ammonia levels, nitrites and nitrates) but my labs dont ever seem to make it. They arent getting beat up by the other fish but they simply seem to kick it a few days into being in the tank.
How else do you guys add your new stock to existing tanks? Any suggestions of what else I can do? Thank you!
