Got my "show fish"

[Alberta-newb]

Parasites are one thing I am concerned about but with how difficult it is to get one of these I didn't want to risk stressing him any further after his journey by medicating or giving him a FW dip (reportedly they don't ship well) Osmotic shock was already a big worry for me as his shipping water was at 1.0119 and my tank is at 1.0126. Took almost 3 hours to drip acclimate before I felt it was close enough to tank conditions. I will be watching him very closely over the next few days and once he is eating well I'll be treating him for parasites using a med I picked up. It has the same ingredient as PraziPro (plus 2 additional anti-parasite drugs) but is designed to be fed directly to the fish rather than treating the water.
