I am not a pro but FWIW I have done my best to acclimate every fish I have stocked. I float the bag to avoid temp shock and exchange pond water for some of the water in the bag to avoid PH, etc. shock. I give it an hour exchanging a little more pond water and bag water every 15 minutes. I have never lost a fish....knock on wood! smile
