Put the fish in a bucket of the copper laced water and then just ease your hand up under the fish and it will rest there then wet the other hand with tank water then put the fish into the now wet hand from tank water then easily set the hand with the fish into the tank slowly and the fish will just swim off and not go into shock like with a net.. I put all my fish in the tank like this. So as to never introduce anyones water to my tank.
When I add my fish they never just shoot for the rocks and kind of just hang out to look around . They will all just lay right in your hand just don't excite then with chasing around in the bucket just slowly herd them into your Palm. I do Rabbit fish like this also. Y'all should see Amcarrigs face when I made her learn and employ this method LOL _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) |
