Description from the creator

This video explains to you the calm and safe way to acclimate your Betta fish into its new tank!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* If you have strong lights above the aquarium, turn those off.
It will make the situation less stressful for the fish.
* First you need to equalize the different temperatures of the water
in the bag, and the water in the tank. Gently put the fish bag or
cup in the water, and let it lie there for 15 minutes.
* Now you need to mix the different water-types. After 15 minutes,
you carefully pour in some of the tank-water into the bag or cup.
Leave it for another 15 minutes.
* Repeat previous procedure 2-3 times.
* Now you simply open the bag or the cup, tip it to the side so the
opening meets the water, and then lift it right up. The fish will
automatically follow the water-flow, and swim into its new home!

GOOD LUCK!
