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.

Was soo happy! I made a pretty big order so I was more than a little nervous but Yous definitely didn't disappoint. The plants n products were exactly what I wanted and The red and white on these shrimp look amazing. And these guys are the biggest I've seen around! amongst a great variety of sizes and colours.. I was a little worried at first as a few took awhile to reanimate from the cold but all were kicking in no time. big thankyou!! I think I'll be ordering again in the future for sure!! 💯

Lemon Blue eyes

I'm a Bristlenose addict I have 16 in various tanks most of which I got from Abquatics... as usual with my Abquatics deliveries (i get a lot) it arrived healthy, happy and exceeded my expectations. The longfin blue eye is different to the others, she wasn't shy when first introduced to the tank, normally they need a few days to settle in but she was very inquisitive from the get go... definitely my favourite

Beautiful shrimp!

Highly recommend purchasing these beauties! They all came in perfect condition. All different colours; including reds, blues, greens, chocolates and clears! Ranging from large to almost invisible! I even scored a few that are carrying eggs. I placed them in my tank after drip acclimating and they got to work right away. I love watching them! They’re so full of character 🥹

Healthy, happy and breeding already!

They arrived in great condition 3 weeks ago, they must love their life because my pond is full of the tiniest little fry that I’ve ever seen. I’ve managed to catch 36 so far! Uploading a pic of the fry because the adults keep hiding when I get too close.

Dwarf Pea Puffer x 3

I received my 3 ‘hover fish’ a couple of weeks ago (very quick delivery to metro Melbourne) and they’re doing really well in my community tank.
They are a little shy and I did worry I had lost at least one .
However , they are doing great cruising around snacking on my generous population of snails . (They don’t seem to be interested in the frozen bloodworms)
No issues with the other fish in my mixed bag tank.
Thanks for your excellent service .
