IMPORTANTI 
- On arrival of shipments of fish, DO NfrT TRANSFER THEM IMMEDIATELY into your ** 
- water, as there may be a strong chemical "difference J between' the two waters ** 
- and the suddflen change would be a shock to the fish, causing many ills, 
- Siphon the water from the can into the aquarium, put the fish into the 
- aquarium and add a little of your tempered water daily. A slow change of 
- this type is beneficial to the fish and you will have no losses.
