How to Acclimate your new Fish

Now it’s time to ease your fish into its new home.

1. Float the bag in your aquarium for 15 to 20 minutes in order for the water in the bag to reach the same temperature as that of the tank.

2. Open the bag and add a cup of water from your aquarium. Reseal the bag. Repeat this step every five minutes.

3. Darken the room and switch off any aquarium lights. This will help keep the new fish calm when they first enter the tank.

4. After 30 minutes your fish will finally be ready for the big move. Use a net to scoop your fish from the bag to the tank.
