Well I am just reading this thread and I am sorry nobody told you to let the fish out of the bag (6 hours between your two posts), I hope you let them go because your tank is far better than that bag even with unconditioned water.
Huh. I understand what you are saying here, cyborob, but it's not like people need to sleep, or eat, or have families and other priorities, eh?cyborob said:
I'm actually confused as to why he bought the fish before he had the conditioner in hand. The information was here a couple of days ago.
Regardless, yes, the tank would be far safer than keeping them in a bag.

you can check Big Al's online if your LFS doesnt carry.
They also carry a store brand that is a little cheaper.

Make sure you use some water from the hot water tap and put a nylon stocking (pantyhose) over the end and fasten it with a rubber band. It will diffuse the nitrogen bubbles and make them gas off.twig said:
Since I started using the stocking -- which I was using so that I could drain and fill without fear of sucking fish up when I wasn't in the room -- I've not had any massive bubble problems. A few, mind you, but not near as I used to get.
Worth a try.

What? You don't have a PDA phone running WM5 subscribed to you all your threads you post in, then set to vibrate you when there is a reply in those threads? Sheesh!!! :duh:
Hehehe!
Yes any conditioner for that matter. Once I have fish in the bag I am just wired to want to get them out of there as fast as possible. Hope they made it.
As to Bio Spira, I used this on my 36, the tank cycled in about 4 days with one very small ammonia then nitrite reading.
Give these folks a call. http://www.fishtown-usa.com/contact.htm Unlike the Petco's & Petlands they only deal in FISH!! Good Luck
Er. . . what the . . how nice. It's always nice to find your web site graphics have been ripped off, isn't it?tonytheboss1 said:
Their icon for the Boesemani rainbowfish is from an image that was ripped off my site and that really, really bothers me.
Nasty email time.
