Acclimation instructions
Follow these steps to help your shrimp adjust to their new aquarium.
- 1
Open the box immediately
Unpack on arrival, even if the tank is not ready. Float nothing yet. First look at the bag and note any casualties for a guarantee claim within 4 hours of delivery.
- 2
Dim the lights
Turn off the aquarium light and work in low light for the next hour. Keep lighting gentle during acclimation.
- 3
Temperature match
Float the sealed bag in the tank for 20–30 minutes so the shipping water reaches tank temperature. Do not open the bag during this step.
- 4
Drip acclimate for 60–90 minutes
Pour the shrimp and their water into a clean container and drip tank water in at 2–3 drops per second until the volume has roughly tripled.
- 5
Net them across
Move the shrimp with a soft net or cup. Never pour shipping water into your aquarium, it carries ammonia from the trip.
- 6
Leave them alone
Add a piece of blanched vegetable or a bit of biofilm-rich moss, keep the light off for the rest of the day, and skip feeding heavily for 24 hours.
