New Fish Day: Acclimating My Ember Tetra And Otocinclus To Their New Environment

Description

New Fish Day is always an exciting milestone for any aquarium enthusiast, especially newcomers eager to see their tanks come to life. In this video, I’m sharing the careful process of acclimating my brand-new Ember Tetras and Otocinclus catfish to their new home. These peaceful, vibrant fish bring both colour and function: Ember Tetras with their striking orange glow and schooling behaviour, and Otocinclus as nature’s little algae cleaners. I’m using the drip acclimation method to slowly adjust the Otocinclus to the tank’s water parameters, minimising stress and ensuring a smooth transition.I used the floating bag method for the Ember Tetra. It’s a moment filled with anticipation and care, marking the beginning of a thriving, balanced aquarium.
