The best way to introduce a new fish to your aquarium is to first acclimate the fish to the water temperature in the aquarium by floating the bag with the fish in the water for about 15-20 minutes. Then, gradually add small amounts of water from the aquarium into the bag over the course of about 30 minutes to help the fish adjust to the water parameters. After that, use a net to transfer the fish into the aquarium gently to avoid any stress or injury to the fish. It's also important to monitor the new fish closely for the first few days to ensure it is adapting well to its new environment.
