He is amazing! He is alive and tiny!!! About 3 of them could fit in a ball point pen.

How long is he? She. Lol.

Katrina71 · Oct 4, 2017

Maybe an inch and a half.

saltyfilmfolks · Oct 4, 2017

Oh my goodness. Tiny.

Katrina71 · Oct 4, 2017

This snail is about .5" for scale.

Katrina71 · Oct 4, 2017

Yes we have some new tank uglies.

saltyfilmfolks · Oct 4, 2017

Hahaha. The look on its face is precious.

Katrina71 · Oct 4, 2017

Not a bit shy! Not hiding at all.

@Scurvy tiniest dragon ever.

Katrina71 · Oct 4, 2017

He likes PE mysis! I fed him with a pipette.

Katrina71 · Oct 5, 2017

He survived the night. Thank goodness! Looks like we need a name.

Scurvy · Oct 5, 2017

Wow! He really is tiny but awesome! Reminds me of a muppet.

Would I already know if I somehow messed up the drip acclimation? I don't think so, but...

I would think if something went wrong there you'd have seen an imediate response from the fish though I havent seen troubles myself 1st hand to reference. Something seem off?

No, just curious. I guess wanting to prepare for the worst and hope for the best where my son is concerned. He will ask on the way home from school.

Did you test the salinity of the bag?

It's really hard to say how it'll go. Besides salinity acclimation you can't tell how the animal responded to stress. So that's a general fingers crossed. But so far it sounds good.

Fwiw. Actual science is still up in the air on the salinity acclimation thing as far as how long it actually takes. Quite literally some (science) believe days weeks or months.
