We always hope that new fish will survive and ultimately thrive in our aquarium. The first 24 hours are critical in showing us several important factors related to survival. How do they acclimate to our water conditions? What impact did the journey to your aquarium have on them? Are they a strong or weak stock? Let's talk about this and a lot more in today's Cichlids & Coffee Live Stream, and let's answer your questions, LIVE!
*Let's roll!"
