How to Acclimate Your New Fish & Shrimp
Proper acclimation helps reduce stress and gives your new aquatic animals the best possible start. Please follow the instructions below based on the type of livestock you purchased.
Goldfish
- Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to gradually equalize the temperature.
- Open the bag and add a small amount of aquarium water every 5 minutes for approximately 15–20 minutes.
- Gently transfer the goldfish into the aquarium using a clean net.
- Keep the aquarium lights off or dimmed for several hours while your new fish adjusts.
Important: Do not pour shipping water into your aquarium. Allow your goldfish time to settle before feeding.
Betta Fish
- Float the sealed bag in the aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize the temperature.
- Open the bag and slowly add small amounts of aquarium water over the next 10–15 minutes.
- Carefully transfer your betta into the aquarium without adding the shipping water.
- Keep the aquarium lights off or dimmed while your betta adjusts.
Important: Bettas may hide, rest, or appear less active after shipping. This can be normal after transportation. Give your betta time to settle into its new environment.
Guppies & Tropical Fish
- Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize the temperature.
- Open the bag and gradually add small amounts of aquarium water every few minutes for approximately 15–20 minutes.
- Gently transfer the fish into the aquarium using a clean net.
- Keep the aquarium lights off or dimmed for several hours to reduce stress.
Important: Do not pour shipping water into your aquarium. Make sure your aquarium is fully cycled and has appropriate water parameters for the species.
Freshwater Shrimp
Shrimp are sensitive to sudden changes in water chemistry, so a slower acclimation process is recommended.
- Float the sealed bag for 15–20 minutes to equalize the temperature.
- Transfer the shrimp and shipping water into a clean container.
- Slowly introduce aquarium water into the container. Drip acclimation for approximately 45–60 minutes is recommended.
- Once acclimated, gently net the shrimp and transfer them into the aquarium.
Important: Do not pour shipping water into your aquarium. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or water parameters.
After Acclimation
Keep aquarium lights off or dimmed for several hours after introducing your new livestock. Allow fish and shrimp time to settle before feeding, and avoid unnecessary handling or disturbances.
Never pour shipping water into your aquarium.
For best results, all livestock should be introduced into a properly cycled aquarium with stable water parameters.

what people are saying...
“We just received our healthy, marbled Half Moon Betta from Coast Gem USA. Excellent communication from start to finish and the quality is amazing. They are consummate professionals who I highly recommend.”
“100% the best online store I’ve ever bought from. Excellent customer service, and reply really fast. My betta and panda corys arrived perfectly fine. They replied within about 20 minutes and refunded me.”
“I ordered a Betta back in March and he shipped out fast and arrived 2 days later healthy, gorgeous and definitely the fish I ordered. I made another order for a male Betta this week, same thing.”
“I ordered an Oranda from Coast Gem USA and the whole experience was honestly perfect. The fish showed up looking great—healthy, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. You can tell they really took their time with the packing.”
“Great place for a vast assortment of freshwater fish. I’ve bought in-person and online, both have been great experiences with my purchases. Thank you Coast Gem, you guys are awesome!”
“This place is amazing! They have a bit of everything and they have knowledgeable staff to help you with fresh water fish expertise. Caesar was very kind and professional with getting our new cichlid peacock.”
“My giant betta showed up healthy with beautiful color. Took a few weeks. I knew from the start after reading reviews that it’s a slow process and this fish having to be imported would take a little longer but well worth the wait.”
“How this place only has 3 stars is beyond me. I did have to catch my own fish. However, the quality of fish that I got (African cichlids) was amazing!!! I paid much less than had I have purchased them somewhere else.”
“I originally had a pretty good experience ordering online from them. I ordered 5 betta and they took a little longer than expected to get to me but the quality was exceptional. I was so impressed that on a trip down to San Diego I checked them out.”
“I ordered 5 orandas. At first they were a little stressed, which is normal due to the trip since I live in Florida. After I quarantined them, they settled in beautifully and I was very happy with them.”
