Answer 6

If you havent already set up your fish tank first step is to set up the fish tank and add water and make sure you have all these equipment like thermometer and heater and filter.

Let that run like 24 hours then whatever fish u decide on getting at the pet shop you put the bag on top of the water and let it sit for like 10 minutes  and you can grab the fish net and take them out or if you like just gently pour the water in the bag into your fish tank. I dont do this because sometimes i always get like fish diseases and stuff . that's all and dont get to many fish at once just do a new fish every other week.

Answer 7

When I have fish shipped in, I float the bag for about 10-15 minutes to get the temperature about the same. Then, I have one of the plastic container that hang on the side of tanks at petstores (you could use a cup or bucket if you don't have a hanging container), , which I gently pour the fish and its water into. I then add water to the container at 15 minute intervals. If the fish seem stressed, wait until they calm down before starting with the water additions again. Keep doing this until the container is full, then dump about half of it down the drain/toilet and start the process over again. Once it's full again, dump fish and water out over a bucket into a net, then place the fish into the tank. You don't want to add any of the water from shipping/petstore tanks because of the waste and possible contaminates. If you plan to add this fish to an already established tank, you need to use a quarantine tank first!

Added: Do NOT just dump the fish in without gradually adding water to the bag. A major change in pH could kill your fish or stress it and make it sick. : /

Believe me, I've been working with fish that cost a LOT of money. Bettas who were imported from Thailand ($150 for two pairs), piranhas, wolffish, guppies, a vast assortment of fish that are worth too much to just "dump into the tank".
