Moving small fish to a new tank

Postby Clown man » Sun Feb 21, 2010 3:43 am

I have 2 1/2 month old sebae clowns and when I attempt to move them to a new tank they tend to go into shock and die quickly. The fish are at least 3/4 of inch long, yet they seem so sensitive to being move. Any tips?

Put them into a bucket and slowly acclimate them to the new tank water parameters by adding a cup of the new water every 30 minutes or so. It will take some time but it should slowly get them used to the new water.
