How to acclimatize
Fish
- Let the bags float in your aquarium for 15-30 min so that the water temperature is the same.
- Open the bag and pour the water and the fish(es) into a container. 5 gallon buckets are recommended.
- Hang an air hose using a clamp on your aquarium connecting to the container. Create a siphon in the pipe and tie a knot to reduce the water flow to 2-3 drops per second. (Drip acclimatization)
- Let the acclimatization take place for a period of around 45 minutes. Keep an eye on the fish(es) to make sure they are doing well.
- Introduce the fish(es) into the aquarium using a net. It is important not to put the water from the bags in your aquarium.
Plants
- Remove the plant from the bag carefully to not damage any leaves.
- Remove the pot and the floss attached to the bottom of the plant.
- Rinse the plant with room temperature tap water.
- Plant, attach or glue the plant according to the recommended placement
It is always easier to plant in the humidified soil without water in the aquarium.
