CARE OF YOUR ORDER 
UPON ARRIVAL: 
If fish, it is well to have one or more aquariums 
ready for the new fish. These should be partly 
filled with seasoned water (aged water). Taking 
the fish from the shipping can they should be 
FLOATED, in jars containing the same water in 
which they were shipped, in the prepared aquar- 
ium. The remaining water in the can should be 
strained and dumped into the aquarium. When 
the temperature is the same in both the aquar- 
ium and floating jars, the fish may be released 
into the aquarium. They should be kept in this 
aquarium several days, away from your other 
fishes. 
A teaspoon of sea salt to each 5 gallons of 
water makes an effective tonic for the fish if they 
appear sluggish.
