acclimation

[alyssia]

today when I put a new fish in my QT tank I forgot to turn the lights off. The fish is acting fine...I know it sounds silly but it's worrying me. Also, when people use lfs on here does that mean local fish store?

I've never turned the lights off to add a fish and have never had a problem with a fish acclimating. And yes, LFS means local fish store.

i've put my clowns in my tanks with lights on and they are better then ever, it shound't be a problem. maybe if your fish was sent to you packaged in complete darkness and you opened it in a bright room and put hin in a tank with lights on you might have a problem there. but yah lfs means local fish store
