What is the best way to acclimate a fish? For freshwater fish, add a cup of water from your aquarium into the acclimation container. Let the fish acclimate for 10 minutes then add another cup of water from your aquarium. Another 10 minutes later, net the fish and put the fish into your aquarium. For saltwater fish, we highly recommend doing a drip acclimation.
