Some notes when releasing new fish into the lake
2. Temperature adaptation:
Next you need to acclimatize the fish to the temperature of the aquarium before stocking. If the temperature is too different from the original environment, it can be stressful for the fish and affect their health. When bringing back the fish, you should observe whether the health condition of the fish is good, then calf the fish bag floats on the surface of the water for about 15-30 minutes to balance the water temperature in the bag and the water temperature in the lake. After equalizing the temperature, you need to open the fish bag and add some water in the aquarium to balance the pH level. About 10-15 minutes later, when the fish get used to the pH, you need to take the fish to a balm tank or a bucket of water and start bathing purple, the potassium permanganate concentration is about 1-2mg / liter (completely dissolve potassium permanganate then bathe) to disinfect the fish.
The steps above will help your fish avoid cases of heat sock, pH sock and fish stress.

3. Fish Diet:
When releasing new fish into the lake, you need to fast the fish for one to two days, if you find the fish weak due to long-distance transportation, you can fast longer because at this time the fish will be difficult to digest or feed the fish a minimum amount of food to help the fish gradually adapt to the new environment.
