So i am getting my trio of metallic blue double red A.Agazi next week and have been looking into best way to acclimate fish bought online.
Normally i do a drip, however i have never bought online and figured i would look into it.
Im seeing lots of people including Ted Judy (big on youtube for his fish channel and apisto breeding) say that the plop and drop is best. Acclimate to temp then cut bag and drain into a net and plop them in new tank. They say do to the carbon dioxide gassed off in the bag the second the bag opens O2 replenishes in the water rising PH and toxicity of ammonia. They say drip can work but you should add ammonia detoxifier to the bag the second you cut it.
However it takes fish weeks to properly adapt to new water so is drip really for the best?
What do you guys think? Super interested in what yalls opinions and experience are.
