Methods to introducing fish to an aquarium:

Acclimation Method One

1. Turn aquarium lights off while floating the fish.

2. Float the sealed bag with the fish inside on top of the aquarium water for 15 - 30 minutes. The salesperson should have filled at least half the bag with air, enabling the bag to float in your aquarium. Floating the fish bag on the surface of the aquarium allows the water in the bag to gradually change to the same temperature as the aquarium water.

3. Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature of the water in the fish bags is the same as the aquarium water.

4. Release the fish into the aquarium. To accomplish this, you can pinch the end of the bag and pour all of the water into a bucket, then pour the fish into the aquarium; OR pour the fish into a net over a sink or bucket to catch the water from the bag, then release the fish into the aquarium. The key here is to keep store water from entering your aquarium. Caution: Some fish such as angels and mandarins have spines which can get caught in a net.
