no medicine works better than clean water.
no such thing as too much clean water, so go do a water change now.

You don't HAVE too but it reduces the stress on them. Especially since they spent the night in a dark box being toss around lol

Just for the first day. Sometimes I leave the lights on it all depends how the fish are doing during acclimation. If they're not stress from the flight I leave the lights on if they're a bit skittish I turn it off just to help them cope.
Leaving the lights on wont cause them to die or anything, it might just stress them out more and as we know stress leads to illness.
Hope that makes sense

Well I got mine too. 5 to start with.
2 high fin blue diamond
2 red ring leopard skin
1 turquoise striated red
They been hiding in the back of the tank, I had them in a quarantine tank for about a week an a half, they seem good so I pass them to the big tank, at first they just went to the back and hide, all but one leopard and a blue diamond, they keep coming forward to check on me and if I was going to feed them. Then when I started to pull out plants to do my water change they loose the shame and they were all over the tank, I took some pictures I need to download, so you can tell me what you think.
I like them a lot....4+ inches all except one leopard that is a bit smaller.
They are all eating good. I think that is a good sign.

if theyre eating good thats a good sign. fish will hide once theyre netted and move to a different tank. they should be fine after a while. mine 6" penang was hiding when i transfered him from one tank to other but once he settled down it goes right back to pigging out lol
look forward to the pictures lol i too have pictures i took that needs to be uploaded lol

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I check back on this thread waiting for the Discus lol. I have a 125 that I already have set up and some mbuna for... after following this thread (and your tank!) I think when I change it up, Im going to attempt discus.
I could certainly use tons of pictures (from both of you!)
