This. Not just a sudden change in temperature, but a change in water chemistry can also kill the fish. The BEST thing you can do is this: 1. Float the new fish in it's plastic bag in your tank. 2. Every 2 - 5 minutes, add a small amount of tank water to the bag water. This will help the fish adjust to the new water chemistry factors (like PH, ammonia, ect). 3. After 10-15 minutes, net the fish and place it in the tank. Do NOT dump bag into tank. Fish stores (especially Petco, Petsmart, ect) generally have bad water, which can carry many diseases. You don't want that in your tank, so net the fish.
