Do Not Open Your Box Until You Are In Front Of Your Tank: Your shipment of discus is designed to last 24+ hours before the bag is opened. When you receive your box of tropical fish, keep it from direct sunlight or Ice and snow-covered ground.
Unseal your box and remove the Styrofoam lid, heat or cold packs, and newspaper.
Cut open the plastic bags that contain the fish. Each discus has two stapled bags and one dark liner to keep the fish safe and minimize stress during transport. Keep the tropical fish bags upright while cutting the tops off all three bags. Do this for all the tropical fish bags you have purchased.
Pour about 1/8 Cup from your fish tank every 20 minutes into each bag to acclimate them to your pH. Do this for one hour or three times twenty minutes apart.When acclimating fish that have been shipped, it is very important they have time to adjust to your tanks pH. While the temperature difference between your tank and the water in the bag is important, the difference in pH is more important. Pouring 1/8 cup of from your tank in to each bag every twenty minutes will help them with both temperature and pH differences. Allowing one hour is the best for acclimating tropical fish.
After one hour, pour out the water in the bag and let the discus fish slide out into your tank. If you have a bucket pour the water from the bag into it, then let the discus fish slide into your tank from the empty bag. Do not pour the water from the bag into your tank. Another option is to reach into the bag with your hand and place the discus fish into your tank. You can use a rubber glove or barehanded.
Wait for 5 hours to feed your new tropical fish:.When acclimating tropical fish, waiting until they acclimate to their new environment is important as digestion is affected by stress.
Keep your tank temperature at 86-88F degrees for the first month to stimulate their appetite and immune system. After one month bring the temperature back down to 84F.
The following procedures are recommended to safely and successfully introduce new fish into an established aquarium.
Acclimation should take no longer than 1 hour to complete.
Determine water parameters: Please determine the temperature, PH and TDS difference between the transport and your aquarium water upon arrival of the animals.
Lights:

Lights: Turn off the light in your aquarium and dim the lights in the room
Cut the bag open below the rubber bands and pour the fish and water into a clean empty bucket.
Slowly add 1 cup of water from the aquarium to the bucket.
Repeat adding 1 cup of water every 5 minutes for 45 minutes.
Only then you can move the fish gently into your tank leaving the water in the bucket.
Keep the aquarium lights off and the room lights dimmed for at least the first 10 hours after acclimation. Fish should not be fed for at least 12 hours after moving to a new tank. If they show interest after 12 hours slowly feed them a small amount.
Fish after transport, can suffer from oxygen starvation and the immune system will be significantly weakened, which can lead to illness and even death. Our animals often have many hours of transport behind them and it would be nice and very important to make the adjustment as gently as possible.
We recommend quarantining all newly purchased Fish in a separate tank before introducing them to the population of your established aquarium.
