Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

Erm, using a smaller pail seems to be the logical thing to do. But sometimes, even using smaller pail also not enough. When that happens, I usually tilt the pail to one side to ensure that the fishes have enough depth to at least not expose any part of their body to air.

I usually open the bag and put it in the tank and clip it to the glass using a clothes peg. Then I drip water in using diy airline tubing and a container. If I have more than one bag, I use a syringe and squirt about 1ml every few mins or so for the extra bags. This goes on for about an hour.

Hey ... I did that too.

My only point of doubt is that .... After the Acclimation, how do we transfer the fish into our DT?

Pour the whole bag of Water & Fish in ? OR remove the Fish by net and then put it into the DT ??

Best if u can scoop it out with a net n release in the tank.. i always try to avoid dumping the packed water into my display tank. I do this to avoid any other stuff from being intro into my Display...
