Now let me get this straight. Here you all advise to add water 10 degrees colder to initiate mating behavior. And I got walked all over once in a different forum because I use tap water (water purification system) and adjust the temps by holding my hand under the running water until it feels "about right". I was told this is a good way to kill the fish if the temps are off by more then 2 degrees. Is this not also one of the reasons we place the bag with the fish in the tank rather then just tossing the fish in. Or am I missing something here?
