š How to Acclimate Your Livestock
š Use a Quarantine Tank (Highly Recommended)
- Prepare a 10ā20 gallon tank.
- Install filter and heater (25ā28Ā°C recommended).
- Use water from your main tank, cycle it, and test parameters.
- Monitor the new livestock for 7ā14 days before transferring.
ā 1. Floating Method
- Turn off aquarium lights, dim room lights.
- Float the sealed bag in the tank for 15ā30 minutes.
- Cut the bag and slowly add tank water every 4 minutes.
- Discard half the water, float again, repeat water addition.

ā 2. Drip Method (For Sensitive Species)
- Float bag and transfer fish to a clean bucket.
- Set up a siphon drip using airline tubing.
- Discard half the water after volume doubles.
- Gently transfer to main tank.
ā ļø Before Adding Livestock to Main Tank
