First time buying fish from DD it

[mtfish]

It changes tank to tank so best to call them. Ive heard 1.016 and 1.022. It varies.

Regular LA has the lower salinity. All the fish I have received from DD came in right at 35 ppt.

Also TSM and divers den are both pre quarantined and medicated.

Both ship at 35ppt.
Divers den sent an email the night before arrival with acclimation guide, tank parameters, and what the fish is eating during QT

good point on the light. It will keep them calm during transfer/transition

You guys are great! Thanks for all the helpful information!!!!! I will call them for sure!!!! My main LFS I go to here is getting me a Emporer Angel, so I am waiting on it. He is a friend of mine and he is good enough to QT it, than he acclimates it to his display tank. I leave it in there a month before I pick him up. I am on the lookout for a nice looking potters Angel. So I am looking online for one. These two are my last additions.

Thanks! Do you know what salinity they ship their fish in?

35ppt/ 1.026 SG

Divers den is not a full quarantine, more of a conditioning than a quarantine

Thanks!!!! I appreciate all the help! I have never bought a fish online, so this is new to me! LOL! I read through info about quick acclimation because of the shipping bag water.....so it's better not to drip correct?

I’d rather add water to bucket every 15 minutes x 8

Salgado’s salinity is super 1.011-12 to kill off any flukes and parasites. NYaquatics... not sure, they do use copper and prazi for a week. TSM and DDs salt is 1.025
