Leave it for 30 mins then take it out. I do this for all my livestock. To each there own i guess. Jake Levi New Member. I slow acclimate everything. I check the bag water, and release as much of it as I can after its checked, into a container, for disposal, I have a couple 4 gal pails, and I relase the bag into it, with a cup or two of the tank water, then drip a couple drops a sec into the pail, fish 2 hrs, inverts up to 4 hrs, works for me.
I havent transshipped anything in years, those were much longer acclimating, and far closer in the water checks. Right now hrs drive is about my longest and those are bagged in O2. Osmotic shock can be a real killer along with a major ph jump. The water is disposed of. So far i have never acclimated any of my 13 corals before, i just dump them right into my tank and they are all growing and doing just fine. I didnt acclimate my Rbta either.

It is recommended for a single or pair of clownfish to be housed in a gallon tank or larger. If you want to add more clownfish, add another 10 gallons for each fish but it is possible to have more fish in the tank if they are small in size. While clownfish and BTA are generally low maintenance, you should always remember to practice good husbandry as you would with any aquarium.
As much as possible, try to mimic the natural movement of the water in their natural habitat. You can invest in water circulation pumps or wave makers but be sure to cover your waver makers pumps with a foam mesh guard.

Now that you know how to acclimate clownfish with anemones, we hope that you will also take good care of both species. While their symbiotic relationship will help them survive on their own, you also have to do your part to make sure that the tank is livable for both of them.
