Month- old fry embryos Acclimatization to 300 liters tank capacity for further growth

Nice. What are the variant?

I use a bucket that has half current tank water and half new tank water and an air stone for about 20mins+ havne't had any issues. Is there a reason that you use the drip method or just good old routine (if ain't broke don't try and fix it)

Hi Andrew , the method you describe the fry are placed directly into the water mixed in , I think it's a little less good because fry in that size as it is sensitive .

The idea method I use is to make them as little stress and dramatic changes for a smooth transition .



I believe the drips easier for them to acclimatize ,

I tried all kinds of methods .

I think this is best for the fry.

In this video are Kalambo and Kiriza fry

By the way ,

Even when it comes to adult fish I recommend the drip method and so I acclimate.

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I will mix the water after putting the fry into the acclimation container. Same thing with adults. But I use the same aragonite in all of my tanks and use the same additives and water change routine. New Wilds are a different story. I will acclimate them over a longer period of time and will much smaller amounts of water.
