If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

IS is deep? If so throw them bad boys n there. The water is nice and they will shut down like every other fish would if they were n there for months. Read about feeding and temps. If you have depth they will be fine.

I agree. I think it's still warm enough to get your bio bugs going for a while anyway. By the way, high tail it to your profile and add your location and zone. I promise I won' tell anybody where you live. :'(
