ACCLIMATING FISH TO YOUR POND
|
| We recommend that you go straight to your pond with the fish. You can float the bag for 10-15 minutes on your pond or water and let them warm up slowly, or you can open up the bag and add one quart of pond water into the bag every minute until the water in the bag feels like the same temperature as the water in your pond. Then, gently release the fish out of the bag into the pond. |
