Drip Acclimating Instructions

Drip Acclimation

Neocaridina shrimp are a popular choice for aquariums, but they can be sensitive to changes in water quality. Drip acclimation is a safe and effective way to introduce new shrimp to your aquarium.


To drip acclimate neocaridina shrimp, you will need:


* A container for the shrimp

* A siphon or airline tubing

* A bucket of aquarium water

* A timer


Instructions:


1. Fill the container with aquarium water.

2. Place the shrimp in the container.

3. Attach the siphon or airline tubing to the bucket of aquarium water.

4. Place the end of the tubing in the container with the shrimp.

5. Turn on the siphon or airline tubing.

6. Adjust the flow rate so that the water drips into the container at a rate of about 1 drop per second.

7. Let the shrimp drip acclimate for 1.5-2.5 hours.

8. After 1.5-2.5 hours, the shrimp should be acclimated to the water in your aquarium. You can then gently release them into your aquarium.


Here are some additional tips for drip acclimating neocaridina shrimp:


* Use the same type of water in the container as you have in your aquarium.

* Make sure the temperature of the water in the container is the same as the temperature of the water in your aquarium.

* Do not add any chemicals or medications to the water in the container.

* Keep an eye on the shrimp during the drip acclimation process. If they start to show signs of stress, such as swimming erratically or hiding, you can stop the drip acclimation and try again later.


With a little patience and care, you can safely and successfully drip acclimate neocaridina shrimp to your aquarium.
