GSP at store in fresh: can I acclimate to 1.005?

Post by growitnow »

Hello:

My only LFS has a GSP in fresh water. Cycled tank that I set up for this fish is currently at 1.005.

Is that too much of a difference, or can I safely drip acclimate this fish from fresh water to my 1.005?

Thanks,

drip acclimating will be fine :)

Should have no problems acclimating him to that SG.
