VERY IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ 
Tropical fish are shipped in metal cans, placed in carton 
containers for protection against damage in transit. 
In cold weather, especially in the winter months, the cans 
are packed in cartons with insulated material and a chemi- 
cal heating pad placed at the bottom of the carton to keep 
the water in the cans at proper temperature. 
The can, carton, packing material, and heating pad must 
be returned to us immediately by express prepaid or by par- 
cel post. 
When tropical fish are received, check the temperature of 
the water in can and if it is colder than 75°, bring it up 
gradually by stirring in warm water, a little at a time. 
Place the fish in the aquarium, which previously should 
have been planted. 
One tablespoonful of Tricker’s Fungus Cure should be 
added for every ten gallons of water in the aquarium. 
Dissolve the fungus cure first in a glass of water and then 
stir it in the aquarium. It will act as a tonic and prevent 
disease among fish. 
Keep some of our remedies such as Ichthyophtherius rem- 
edy, C.D.T., Fungus Cure and Sea Salt on hand. It will help 
you to keep the fish in good condition. 
In establishing new aquarium, boil the water and let it 
stand for several days before placing fish in the aquarium.
