crazyred said:Drain off a little of the bag water (into a wastewater container.....not your tank) and float the bag, dribble in some of your tank water a little at time every 5 mnutes or so. Drain some more bag water and keep doing this for about an hour to an hour and a half. This will give the fish time to adjust to the changing pH. It sounds like a pain, but it will be worth it in the end. After you're done, net the fish and put him in your tank and turn off the light so he will relax. Try not to get any of the water from the bag into your tank.
