Getting A Fish

[patriot54]

When I get a fish and its done acclimating, do I have to leave the lights off or can I turn them back on since it is the only fish that will be in there?

Leaving the lights off is for the benefit of the new fish, not the existing ones.
So yes, leave the lights off for the rest of the day after introducing a fish, even if it is the first one.

Yup, same thing I do. Leave them off for the rest of the day

Have you watched the acclimation video over on the left here

It really helps, especially the first time you do it.
