Drip acclimation is a method used to gradually introduce aquatic animals, such as shrimp, snails, and fish, to their new tank environment after transport. It helps them adjust to the water parameters and temperature differences between the transport bag and the tank. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to drip acclimate your aquatic animals:

Step 1: Prepare the necessary materials

Clean bucket or container large enough 
Airline tubing
Air pump (optional but recommended)
Adjustable valve or knot (to regulate the flow of water) or get a abquatics drip kit
Clean, dechlorinated water (ideally matching the temperature and pH of your tank)


Step 2: Set up the drip acclimation system

Fill a clean bucket or container with the clean, dechlorinated water.
Attach one end of the airline tubing to an air pump (if using) and place the other end inside the bucket. Make sure it reaches the bottom of the container.

Step 3: Start the drip

Open the bag containing the aquatic animals and carefully pour the entire contents into the bucket, including the water from the transport bag.
Start a siphon by sucking on the free end of the airline tubing or use a siphon starter. This will initiate a slow drip of water into the bucket.

Step 4: Adjust the drip rate

Use an adjustable valve or tie a knot in the airline tubing to regulate the drip rate. Aim for approximately 2-4 drips per second.
The slow drip helps gradually mix the water in the bucket with the water from the transport bag, preventing any sudden changes in water parameters.

Step 5: Monitor the process

Keep an eye on the acclimation process and periodically test the water parameters in the bucket using a test kit. This helps ensure a smooth transition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the animals and the water parameters involved, the acclimation process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

Step 6: Adjust water volume if needed

If the water volume in the bucket becomes too high, you can remove some water and continue the drip acclimation process with fresh, dechlorinated water. Be cautious not to remove too much water, as it can lead to sudden changes in water parameters.

Step 7: Transfer the animals to the tank

Once the acclimation process is complete, gently net the aquatic animals from the bucket and transfer them to the tank. Avoid adding the water from the acclimation container to the tank to prevent any potential contamination.

Step 8: Dispose of the acclimation water

After transferring the animals, discard the acclimation water from the bucket. Do not pour it directly into any drains or natural bodies of water.
By following these steps, you can safely and gradually acclimate your shrimp, snails, and fish to their new tank environment after transport. Remember, it's important to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.

Received a healthy male + female endler pair and two extra fry in one bag, male was very beautiful. Also happy with the rest of my order which included a number of guppy fry.

bought 6 males because the tank they’re going in is too small to breed them.

They’re for a work tank and I’m not there every day, so Ab Aquatics worked with me to post them so they’d definitely arrive on a day I was at work.

I received two black bars, two tigers, a pink chilli (?) and a French blue (?). I think Ab Aquatics have been reading my mind, because black bars and tigers are favourites of mine.

All livestock were beautifully packed in a small polystyrene box with a heat pack to keep them warm on the trip.

I will definitely be ordering from Ab Aquatics again.

Well packed delivery as usual, with heat pack

Well packed delivery, as usual, with heat pack. Ordered assorted Endler pairs and got them, although would have loved more handsome coloured males (as in picture).

Great variety on first order

I have ordered this selection twice. The first order was spectacular with a great range of pairs and colours that were safely packed in an overnight [SYD-MELB] box and arrived alive. They settled easily too.

The second box seemed to have one type of pair but one didn't have [hardly a selection though]. The plants were stuffed on top of them, and I was surprised they all survived. Again, all settled in well.

Efficient order-delivery process and great value for money. Will order again. Thanks
