Drip Method

[MyanRan]

Does the drip method of acclimating work the same if I have 12 of one fish? Once it's done, just pour the water into the sink and catch all 12 in a net at the same time?

Ill prob get hammered for saying this but I've never use this method. And I've never lost a fish except when I had no power for 3 days and I have bought about 30 the past 3 months. I let them sit in bags and float the n dump it in. I know the risk but I feel there's also a slight benefit. My opinion and its worked for me

Yeah, I followed the rule to some extent. I added a cup of tank water to the bag every 20 minutes x 4 and then emptied them into a net over the sink, then put them in the tank.

Depends on fish. Dripping is probably unnecessary for most species.

They were 7 Bentosi Tetras. Probably will be fine.
