CRUCIAL Fish Acclimation Step

My kindergartener insists that all new fish be read to so they feel comfortable in their new home. Anyone else have any techniques that the mainstream hasn't caught on to?

I make my fish listen to Easy Listening music while being dipped in hydrogen peroxide and/or methylene blue. None have jumped out of their baths yet, but it's been a close call with a few of them.

That's awesome!! I'm sure the fish appreciate it. Well, afterall, they do prefer to be in SCHOOLS. ;Smuggrin ;Hilarious (I'll see myself out...)

As a father I obviously appreciate a good dad joke. Well done!

I'd bet you have very happy fish! This is my favorite post in all of R2R.

I’ve heard of the reading acclimation technique. Have used it when grandkids are here. It’s very effective. But I like to use “girgle translate” Through this app I just speak the names of all my fish into my phone, press the translate button and place my phone into the bag of water with the fish.
