Operation Acclimation

[Nickcdll]

So my tank is cycled. I feel like I've been to a ton of fish stores since this started. I finally have my first fish, a dragon sleeper goby. I have the bad floating in my quarinteen tank right now. Temp is set as the main tank. So is salinity. I'm nervous because this is my first time doing this. Do I do the drip method after the bag reached a certain temp? What should I do next????

What is the temperature of your tank?

 

[Nickcdll]

It's at 78

I drip acclimate everything. I think it's probably the best method.

Let the bag set for about 30-40 minutes and add him in. Should be fine.

I've never used that thing before. It looks like a IV tube. So what I punch a small hole in the bag. Then how does that thing get started?

 

[Nickcdll]

Alright so it's been about ten minutes so far. Got the PVC tubes so he can hide from the Feds

I never drip acclimate anything and never had any problems. Gobys are pretty hardy, IMO he will be fine.
