White Clouds.

Hi,I bought 6 white clouds from my LFS to add to my 25 gallon goldfish tank.They happily cohabit with my two goldfish.My question is this,I want to add some White Clouds to my tropical tank.The temp in my GF tank is 21deg C,but in my tropical it is 28deg C.As my LFS only keeps White Clouds in their cold tanks,how do I go about adding the White Clouds to my tropical? I know they can tolerate temp differences,but can I put them into warmer water straight away? Thanks.

Use the drip acclimation method. It's discussed on another posting.

I agree with John. It would be too harsh on them to just dump them in warmer water. Fish are sensitive to sudden changes in their water conditions. Gradually warming their water over a period of time will help them adjust not only to the warmer temperature, but also to the water parameters in their new home. It is possible that they may be a little different even if you use the same water for both tanks.

I agree with the drip acclimation method.

I've used it successfully several times!

Good Luck moving your fish!

I just read something about white clouds on the oddballfish.com website. They said the long fin varities can't survive warm temperatures, but the standard white clouds can. They'll even spawn at normal aquarium temperatures.
