New Bristlenose pleco in a bag, help!

Hey all i have just purchased 2 small peppermint BN plecos and got them home but have just had a thought, how do I get the out of the bag and into a bucket to drip acclimate them? Will the just stay in the bag sucking on the bottom or will they swim out with the water? Thanks for any help

Dump the bag quickly into the bucket, they should come out. If not gentle shake the bag. If they still do not come out wet your hand and gentle go in a get them. Sometimes that is the only way. Your BN will be fine.
