ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than one hour, and ensure the water in the bag is the same temperature as the water in your tank. FEEDING: Food may be flaked, frozen, dried, or live. Feed a variety of food to ensure complete nutrition. Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1 to 2 minutes; overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
