I bought an apple snail when i add it to the tank do i float the bag in the water for 20 minutes?

Question

before releasing it

Answer 1

We always float any live creature we put in our tanks. That way there is a bit of time when the bag is not bouncing them around and the water can get closer to the same temperature as your tank.

Be sure not to pour the water from the bag into your tank.

Answer 2

haha apple snail what do they look like???

Answer 3

I even floated my live plants after I brought them home.

Anything alive will go into shock if you throw it in water that it's not used to.
