Hopefully it wont get Ich, have to acclimate them well or they get sick especially tangs. I kind of liken it to someone picking you up, putting you in a clear plastic bag. Carrying you around for a while, then letting you out in someone else's house..... How would you feel, pretty stressed out, right? well thats exactly what you did to him/her...... and that doesn't even take in account the changes in water temp, salinity and such......

I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.

Every morning is the dawn of a new error.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
