I'll be getting the first clownfish for my tank from someone who is quarantining them for me and they informed me they ship their fish in water between 1.024-1.026 and has ammonia blockers in the bag. I know that when I open the bag, the increase of oxygen will raise the pH which will also raise the toxicity of the ammonia, and I'm not sure how to best acclimate the fish before going into my tank. Thoughts?

everyone packages differently, ask for exact acclimation instruction
