First Two Fish Coming Today

[metweezer]

I am expecting my first 2 fish today. A false Perc and a LMB. Can these 2 fish be drip acclimated together? Will mixing the water from the 2 fish bags in the same styrofoam bucket be okay

Thanks, Steve

If they come seperate they should be acclimate in the water they come in. Do not mix. What's an lmb

i personally would do them both in the same bucket, mix the bags of water. its up to you on how to do it though.

I wouldnt mix the waters. If they came in seperate bags I'd drip them seperately.

I would drip them together cause there comming from the same company and everything so I dont see the problem

I was planning on dripping my yellow watchman with my next Firefish

When I order more then one fish or coral, I check the salinity of the water in the bags, with a refractor, if salinity is same in all bags, then I acclimate them all together. I have yet found a difference when they come from the same place.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the advice

I dripped them together. I did measure the SG and it was the same in both bags. Low, but the same (1.020). They are now in my QT and that False Percula is a real nice hardy fish. He hasn't stopped swimming since I let him out of the bag. The LMB is currently sitting on my heater. He looks fine also. Haven't seen the lmb eat yet but the perc is eating my 5 brand mix of tiny pettetizied food.
Thanks again to all

Steve
