Step 6Acclimating your new betta
Bettas are usually packed in a plastic bag or cup. So when you bring your betta home, do the following:
1) Turn off your tank's lights. (So the betta doesn't get stressed)
2) Float the bag or cup (closed) in the aquarium for about 15 minutes.
3) Open the bag or cup and using a clean cup, collect some aquarium water.
Slowly dump this water in the bag or cup.
(This allows the betta to acclimate to your aquarium's temperature and water).
4) Wait 5-10 more minutes before removing your betta with a fish net.
5) Observe your new betta in its aquarium for a while.
6) After 15 minutes, you may turn on the lights.
