How to introduce a pair of Cardinals to a tank with bigger fish? I have them in my sump for now but would like to put them in my display tank. I just don't want them to stress out or get picked on.

An acclimation box helps a lot for introducing new fish to a tank. You can buy them or make them yourself. Put the new fish in there for a day or two so the other fish can come up and get to know them.How to introduce a pair of Cardinals to a tank with bigger fish?

Great info thanks.An acclimation box helps a lot for introducing new fish to a tank. You can buy them or make them yourself. Put the new fish in there for a day or two so the other fish can come up and get to know them.
Even after introduction, there will be a little aggression expected. The fish will set a pecking order and then things seem to calm down.
