PREPARATION OF POOL FOR FISH. Your pool should be filled for approximately 3 days prior to introducing your fish. If city water has just been added, an antichlorine product should be used to remove the harmful chlorine. An excellent preventive measure for common fish parasites is the use of an Ich remedy. Before introducing fish to a pool that already contains fish, it is recommended that the new fish should be quarantined.
RECEIPT OF FISH. Upon receipt of fish, remove the plastic bag from carton, float the plastic bag and fish in your pool water for approximately 15 minutes. This will equalize to the temperature of the water they were shipped in with the water in the pool and will prevent a shock to the fish.
FISH IN YOUR CARE. Watch your fish carefully. Check our chart on fish remedies if any diseases are suspected. If you are uncertain, please call our office. It is highly recommended to review the fish chapter in Tricker’s Water Gardening Book, An Introduction and Guide prior to purchasing and care of fish. It covers the important concepts of pH, nitrates, nitrites, feeding, etc. in an easy to understand format. The book 1101 Water Gardening Questions and Answers goes into more detail about the care of fish. If problems arise these fundamental concepts are important in solving problems.
Shipping of Fish. Make sure to read about the shipping policies of fish. Tricker’s makes the best effort to send you our wonderful fish. They are all packed with special care.
