TROPICAL FISH AND IlOW TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL 
All fish leave hero in robust healthy condition, but on account of some 
trips being rather long, _it is best to handle them carefully and properly 
when they arrive, ““ "* 1 - 
1st. Leave your telephone number with the Express people , with instruc¬ 
tions that they call you immediately on arrival of the shipment. 
Meet the train and take shipment off yourself . This eliminates the 
da.nger of a shipment being dragged all around town before it is de¬ 
livered to you. Such trucking is dangerous, whether it be Winter 
or Summer . 
3rd. Take thermometer with you and test water temperature at Express 
Office. If same is 'below 70, the fish have been chilled and you 
should get a Bad Order Report, 
4th. On arrival home, it is always best to have a clean aquarium ready 
for the new arrivals. They should not be put with your other fish 
for at least two or three days. Strain the water from out of our 
cans and put as much of it as you can into your aquarium . Then, 
float our fish in jar s into your aquarium, so hhat the temperature 
in jar equalizes with that in the aquarium. It is also best to 
add a little salt to your water , about three large teaspoonfuls to 
evory twenty (00) gallons oi* waters This will act as a tonic.
