Katherine Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I would put them in your tank as soon as they arrive. They'll do better in the water with less light than in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaneFishGuy Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I would say they would be better off in a tank with no light than left in the box. Even some ambient room light would be good Edited February 18, 2023 by PlaneFishGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how necessary it is to dechlorinate for plants only, but I probably would just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
