Transferring fish to new tank ?

[Aquageek450]

My new tank is cycled and has been ready to start moving the livestock over. I have matched the salinity and the temperature in the new tank to the old. Do I need to drip acclimate the fish to the new tank or can I just transfer them over.

I'm thinking it would be less stressful for the fish to just swap them over into the new tank?

Just dump them in.



If salinity, temp, and ALK match, your good to go.

In they go.

More stress and damage from acclimating than in simply tossing them in. Toss 'em in the new tank, but watch them afterwards.
