I have also experienced substantial pH swings with no losses of fish.

I am interested in knowing however, is how you add fish to tanks.  Do you
just net the fish and drop them in the tank?  I could see the benefits of
the strategy:  removing the fish from the ammonia laden bag, not stressing
the fish by putting them into a new environment without any ability to hide.
