    Why acclimate twice and cause more stress? Bring them to your gf's and acclimate there.

    I would just leave them in the bags that they came in and just take them to the gf house and aclimate them there. The less stress the better.

    remember if you warm them up you start changing the ph due to O2 depletion, or so i have read

    You are getting a cowfish? I heard they are very deadly if they get stressed.

    so should i just leave them in the dark box? to keep the ph more stable? the weather is gonna be in the mid 70s here so they should be ok for a little in that i think...

    ive had them before and they are no more deadly then a puffer. i had 1 die in my tank when i first started and had no ill effects. i think they are only a threat if they are killed whille they are stressed, he will be with mollys so he will be living the easy life lol
