    Hi, we want to get a new diamond goby. Our lfs just got a few in a couple of days ago. Should we wait a while before buying one or does that matter? Should they acclimate there first? If so how long should we wait?

    in my opinion, depending on how healthy the tanks are at the LFS you could wait but I would just pick it up right now and go home with it. find a healthy looking one quarantine it yourself if youd like.

    I always add fish together but I don't think it really matters, if you add to many fish at one your bio load jumps up
