I've read a bunch of different ideas on how to handle new fish. With fresh water, I would just let the bag sit in the water for 15 minutes. I've read about drip acclamation, fresh water dip or quarantine.
I understand the drip acclamation method.
How does the fresh water dip work?
What about the quarantine? Does the fish just sit in his own tank for a while? What are you looking for?
The tank is new and has been cycling for 2+ weeks. All the parameters are looking good. We are going to let it run for another week and keep checking levels. So in the next couple of weeks, we might be ready for a shrimp or small fish to get the party started.
