Nice video, quarantine is definitely the way to go but for those who only have a the one tank and no means to quarantine, I would suggest you only ever buy your fish from your LFS who you know quarantine before putting them in their display tanks. This is probably your second best option.

I have always used the plop and drop method for 30 years. Now I know I was right! Thanks for the science lesson

Just starting the tropical journey. I'm already hooked haha. Unfortunately a few fish died in the first week. This video has given me a lift, cheers man!

I love these guides! So helpful! As always, thank you for the great information! :)

Thanks Jason, we can always count on you to drop the science.

Excellent to know the chemistry behind the reasoning to use the plop and drop method over drip acclimation. Hope you and your fish have a happy and healthy new year 🎉🥳

Omg so helpful. I never knew the science behind the alternatives. Thank you!!

I’ve been watching your channel for last couple of months and your information has been so helpful! I was never a big fan of science classes in high school/college, but you would be a wicked amazing professor to learn from in a classroom setting. :) If you’re still teaching, your students are mad lucky to have you as an educator.

Your such a great guy and taught me about my cyps and how to breed them keep it up

[joseortiz]

Great video very educational even for someone like me that has kept fish on and of for over a decade. Thanks for the great content bro keep it coming

[briansoscarfish]

The information you give all of us has always been such a great help. Thanks again for Sharing. 😀

Wow really good video. When buying fish I take a dark canvas type bag like the ones you use at the grocery store. I place the bagged fish in the grocery bag to reduce light and the movement the fish sees. These bags can (somewhat) act as insulator against temperature changes and they help keep the fish bags from flopping around inside bag like the thin, white plastic bags that you usually get from your fish store.

This is such a wonderful series!! Full of lots of information and help for beginners and even experienced fishkeepers! Thank you for this and I hope you all are having an amazing and happy New Year!!🙏♥️🤗🌿🐟🌿

That's a very interesting explanation I needed to get. I wanted to use the dripping method before, not gonna do it now.

[Lippitydo]

thank you for talking about the actual science behind some of these things, I learned a lot in this video! I didn't know half this much when I kept fish in my teenage years.

Thank you for your posting, it was very helpful!

Greetings Jason and Joanna. Happy New Year! I too float my bag in the quarantine tank for about 15-20 minutes, cut the bag, pour them into the net then into the tank.I never knew the science behind why this is the better way than drip acclimation. This science based explanation was great. Love this video. Sincerely, Marty Borst 🐠

Thank you so much a very helpful video! Getting started with our new tank and tropical fish in London.

Greetings from South Carolina! Your channel is my absolute favorite! I have learned so much from you and Joanna. Thank you!
