Ok we got him!!! He's soooo pretty, and I love him. He's white with red, and he's in a cup? So..Errr...I already got his tank set up with water conditioner and everything. I'm kinda letting it adjust a little bit before i start floating him...So exactly HOW do I float a cup?

WOW we need pics!!!!!! i´m not sure how to float a cup but you can put all the cups contents in a plastic bag and float it in the tank, maybe if you have a ziploc.......

how cool!!!!

Hehehe..YES I know you need pics...I'm waiting on the water to get room temperature, then I'm going to get the lil guy into his tank. I'll let him settle in before I scare him with the flashy box. THEN, I need help naming him..Hahhha...I'm almost into naming him Maximillion Max for short

Actually I didnt float him

. I poured most of the water out and rushed him to the tank and put him in there. It worked just fine, and he seems pretty happy. No bubblenest yet though. And thank you!

The damage you cause the fish isn't always right away, with just dumping them into the water. It can take a while for it to weaken the fish & then kill it.. Many times it'll be hours until the shock kills the fish.

So next time, don't do that!!
