Purple fish curse

Landing bucket? I see this in the LFS how do I do that?

Just have a 5 gallon bucket ready, about half full (brought to temp), matching the salinity of the bag water. Then you can take the fish out of the ammonia filled bag (don't dump it) and put it into the clean water bucket to drip acclimate for a few hours (removing water as needed) until it matches your DT.

Ideally, the best scenario is to have a dedicated QT that you can set to match salinity and raise over several days.

Read this, it explains how to set-up a QT:
