How do I introduce new marine animals to the aquarium? PDF Print E-mail

 

Some marine animals must never leave the water. During transport, even a few seconds of exposure to air can be lethal. Among these air-sensitive animals are sea urchins, sea cucumbers, starfish and pufferfish.

When purchasing there animals, ensure they are placed in the transport bag under water, and ask the retailer for specific instructions on introducing them into your aquarium..

Generally, the transport bags with the newly purchased fish and invertebrates should be opened and securely placed side-by-side in a bucket, and for the following half-hour, drip aquarium water into the transport bags- An air hose fitted with a suction cup and clamp is ideal for this job- By doing this, the animals can adapt to the new water temperature as well as the new water parameters- place the bucket in a darkened area to reduce stress and help calm the animals.
