Drip Acclimation, a must for fish:

Please note that acclimation of fish, after a lengthy time in shipping, is totally different from when you buy them in a store and a couple hours later they’re at your home.

After almost 20 hrs in the bag, the CO2 and Ammonia levels build up considerably, which leads to a significant drop in water PH.

This means you have to drip acclimate for  3-4 hrs nice and slow before adding your new fish to your aquarium. (That’s what we do too when we receive our fish!)

This ensures the fish are not suddenly exposed to a     vastly different PH, temperature, and other water parameters.
