To safely acclimate tropical fish, follow these 5️⃣ steps:
1️⃣ Reduce Stress: Turn off tank lights and minimize noise.
2️⃣ Float the Bag: Place the unopened bag in the tank for 20 minutes to match water temperature.
3️⃣ Gradual Mixing: Every 10 minutes, slowly add tank water to the bag over 30–40 minutes.
4️⃣ Check Water Conditions: Ensure the bag and tank water match (use a pH tester if needed).
5️⃣ Release the Fish: Gently introduce the fish to the tank using a net if necessary.
😎 Pro-Tip:
Avoid overcrowding, as it can cause stress, aggression, poor water quality, and disease. Monitor the tank and test water conditions regularly in the days following acclimation.
