1. Transport new fish after purchase as soon as possible and avoid temperature change. The following steps are recommended to provide a stress-free introduction:

Close the aquarium lights during the acclimation period. Float the bag in the aquarium for approximately 20 minutes to equalize water temperatures.


2. Open the bag and gently pour in some aquarium water (approximately 1/3 the bag volume), wait 10 minutes. Repeat this water introduction twice more at the same interval.

NOTE: Add a full dose of Aqua Plus to the aquarium. Its patented stress reducing ingredients will benefit the newly introduced specimens.


3. Carefully net the fish out of the bag and place them in the aquarium. Dispose of the water in the bag, do not release this water into the aquarium.



4. If the newly introduced specimens are the only ones in the aquarium, wait 24 hours before initial feeding.
