Introducing New Fish...

[fishypps]

Hello, well following advice, we bought our 4 neons new friends and we now have 10 lol I have been naughty in the past and just plopped fish into the tank when I got them home... What's the best way to introduce fish to the tank? Saw some cool khulli loaches but other half doesn't like them as much as me lol. Next mission is more plants and more hidey holes for the fish

Put the bag in the water so the get used to the tempreture, then cup water into the fish bag every 10 minutes untill it is full
This is important

My method is to sit the bag in the tank to warn to tank temperature for about 20 mins. Then I mix 2 cupfulls of tank water into the bag and leave for 5 minutes. Then put 2 more cup gulls in and leave another 5. Then I put the fish into the tank. Works brill everytime

i just float the bag for about 15 - 20 min and then drain about half the water in the bag out into the sink .. thhhen i put in what i dumped out with my tank water and let em' hang out for a few minutes in that.. theeen i grab my little net, scoop em' out and put em' in my tank!
