    Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
    Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

      I'm guessing it's leaving the bag in the tank until temp are similar? Not quite sure either.

        Kinda like on Shark Hunters when they pull the shark on the side of the boat to keep oxygenated water flowing over the gills. LOL

          Drift acclimation = when you tie fish to driftwood to acclimate them to the tank and your sadistic self :-). kidding aside, I think she either meant floating the bag or drip acclimation, though drip acclimation in case of tetras sounds too much

                Sadly my first fish that i got a year ago from petsmart died last night. That platy has been so forgiving and put up with me since i was still new to the hobby. He went through tank cycling, overfeeding, ammonia spike. I guess all those have done a toll on his overall health.
