Aquarium Advice Addict
I drip acclimate for every fish, every time. Probably unnecessary, but I actually find it easier than the add water to the bag method. Here's what I do-
- Float bag for ~15 mins (probably unnecessary)
- Place fish and bag water in a clean pitcher (also inside bucket to catch overflow)
- Use air line tubing and start a syphon, then use a clamp so there's a slow but steady drip, drip, drip
- Go watch TV for a while
- Let the pitcher fill, dump out half the water than repeat
- More TV
- Once the pitcher fills the second time, I net the fish (pitcher comes in handy) and place him in the tank
Again, it's probably not needed, but I find it less work and hassle than trying to keep the bag upright and adding tank water every 15 minutes.
