    Direction

    🧭 How to Acclimate Molly Fish – Step by Step

    • Float the Bag

      ➤ Place the sealed fish bag in your tank for 15–20 minutes

      ➤ This helps equalize the temperature gradually.
    • Open the Bag

      ➤ After floating, open the bag and roll down the edges so it can float upright.

      ➤ Let the fish breathe fresh air.
    • Add Tank Water Slowly

      ➤ Every 5 minutes, add a small cup of tank water to the bag.

      ➤ Repeat this process for about 20–30 minutes.

      ➤ This helps mollies adjust to your tank's pH and chemistry.
    • Gently Transfer the Fish

      ➤ Use a soft net to move the molly fish into the aquarium.

      ➤ ⚠️ Avoid adding the bag water to your tank.
    • Let Them Settle

      ➤ Keep the lights dim and avoid feeding for a few hours.

      ➤ This reduces stress and allows the fish to adapt calmly.
    • Monitor Closely

      ➤ Watch the new fish for any signs of stress or illness over the next 24–48 hours.
