Quick question. I just got a couple of new neon tetras, and have them soaking in the bag in my tank. I'm going to add 1/4 cup of tank water and let them sit for another 15 mins or so. How many times do I need to do this? I usually just dump them in after the first water addition, but since I've been battling neon tetra disease, I don't want to stress them out. I figure they need some time to rest so they're not as susceptible.

It's ok, you guys don't have to answer. I've been adding 1/4 cup of water every 15 mins for the past 90 minutes. I just added them to the tank and they seem happy to be out of the bag.
