I'm sure that everyone has their favorite acclimation technique after they get their new friends home.... but what about getting them home in the first place?
With temperatures approaching 100 outside and temperatures in our cars approaching whatever "Max Cool" will provide, how do you protect your fish? Do you carry 'em home with the bags in a styrofoam cooler or other insulated carrier? What about those of us who might drive close to 2 hours to find a decent fish store? Would it be appropriate to take some Amquel and NovAqua with you and ask the LFS staff to put a couple of drops in the bags before they close them? My previous experiences were in a far more temperate climate with several nearby fish stores to choose from so these things were never an issue.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
