Fish store, for some reason, has this new yasha goby at 1.028 sg. I've heard it is safe to drop a fish down quickly but should I just do a drip acclimation? or is that unnecessary ?

You can drop quickly but raise slowlyFish store, for some reason, has this new yasha goby at 1.028 sg. I've heard it is safe to drop a fish down quickly but should I just do a drip acclimation? or is that unnecessary ?
First - I would be curious (in a negative way) - that a fish store (the experts) - are keeping a tank at 1.028 in the first place. Second - If the fish store is near you as compared to shipped - yes - your drip plan seems right. If its not - thats a different issue - as many others have said - Salinity low to high is less problematic compared to the reverse.
Yeah, I'm not sure she is as experienced as she should be. They bought the store from someone not long ago and half offered to sell it to me already... I got her to order the Yasha gobies for me so that was cool.First - I would be curious (in a negative way) - that a fish store (the experts) - are keeping a tank at 1.028 in the first place.

Right - I was trying to suggest - you probably don't need to be very careful - how are the fish doing.Yeah, I'm not sure she is as experienced as she should be.

The store is only a couple miles from me so the yasha hasn't been in the bag long. I am letting him out now.
The 1.028sg confused me. I didn't think there was any reason to have high salinity. She sold someone salt water while I was there ://
Ah, I see. I am always so nervous when getting a new fish. I went like a year without any casualties or difficulties and just started buying fish again.Right - I was trying to suggest - you probably don't need to be very careful - how are the fish doing.
