I am getting a pistol/goby combo and I am wondering how do I move them from the acclimation to the tank I dont want to net them as they are small and may get hurt but I cant just dump the water in... What do you do?
Thanks!

use a bowl or a water glass. Whatever you can get them into. Or next time your at your lfs buy one of the acrylic "boxes" that they use for bagging fish.

I use my hand if possible. Pour most of the water out then gently reach under them. When you pick them up let the water run through your fingers.

Use your hand, if you are worried about hurting them with the net
