First time Acclimating

[Daresien]

I am in the process of acclimating a fish for the first time. I float acclimated them for around 20 minutes and tested the salinity and found that the bag and the tank had the exact same salinity. I have attached a video of their behavior and would like to know if this is standard. They seem to be swimming up against the glass for a while. I am slightly stressed that they could be struggling and was hoping someone would be able to look at it.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Hopefully you’re done with your acclimation by now. I couldn’t get your video to play, but if the salinity was close between the bag and the tank, the fish should be fine. Keep the tank lights dim tonight to let them settle in.

They look healthy. They don't seem to be stressed, I can't totally tell from the video but it doesn't look like they're breathing heavy .

Thank you for the response! I am keeping the lights off now and hoping for the best.
