During this process, each fish is:
- Carefully observed and stabilized
- Proactively treated and monitored
- Conditioned onto prepared foods
- Verified to be actively eating and thriving
This extended process significantly reduces stress and increases long-term success, ensuring you receive a fish that is healthy, stable, and truly ready for your reef.
