This is a bit of a long winded question.I have a potter wrasse that has been in my QT hypo 90 gallon tank ( Had it set up as a display tank before my upgrade to a 180 gallon tank )for about 10 days and is doing very well ( eating mostly mysis and some other frozen food every day) . I included a sand bed with some live rock in this QT tank.I know it is recommended to have a bare bottom , but with a potter wrasse I wanted to have some sand and some live rock. It went through a bit of an amonia spike with the change in salinty , but using the seachem Stablity product it established the bio filter at .09 salinty without stressing out the wrasse. My question is that I like to add a male and female leopard wrasse ( macro pharynegodon meleagris ) to the qt tank and just extend having all the wrasse in the QT tank for another 45 or 60 days, but wanted to know if a very slow acclimination from a .19 from the wholeseller as I plan to be at the fish store when it arrives from the wholeseller to .09 can be done , or do I need a separate tank and bring it down a quarter each time over 2 days. I was told fish acclimate very easily when the water they are going into is at a lower salinty than a higher salinity. I like to minimize any stress by putting the fish in a larger more established tank if possible.
