Hi Jay26ie.
Hmmm Dun Laoghaire is a fair drive for me...about 30 miles (50km) I'd say. I'd have to head over on the M50....it would take over an 1hr or so home provided there was no traffic at all...and there's always traffic!!!
I'd love to go and see it though.
Ok, well, there's two other places I might try also and they are in Lucan (The Fishbowl) and in Newbridge (Tinas pets)...both are not so far away. (I got my first 6 cardinals in the Newbridge place so thats promising.)
So you reckon I should cut back on the acclimatisation time then, Ok! I'll try that next time. I may get a few more tomorrow...I might have a window of opportunity in the afternoon!
Im not familiar with those places but im sure they have to be better than the place you are currently using.. When I acclimatise I usually float the bag for 20 mins, then open and fill about a 1/3 of the left over bag space with tank water every 10 mins untill the bag is full then I allow the fish swim out.. havent had a problem yet.. Again just be careful with rummys because they are particularly sensitive to transportation and acclimatisation...
