Auto-Generated Acclimation Guide
Based on water parameters recorded at origin. Follow these steps to minimise stress and maximise survival.
1
Float the bag for 15 minutes
Allow the bag to float in your tank to equalise temperature. This fish was raised at 26°C — match this before release.
2
Drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes
Slowly introduce your tank water into the bag. Origin pH was 7.0 — if your tank is above 7.4, extend drip time to 60 minutes.
3
Match hardness gradually
This fish was raised in 8 dGH water. If your hardness differs by more than 4 dGH, extend acclimation or use conditioning additives.
4
Release without bag water
Use a net to transfer the fish — do not add breeder water to your tank. Offer food after 24 hours once the fish is settled.
5
Monitor for 48 hours
Watch for clamped fins, hiding, or refusal to eat. Contact the breeder within 24 hours if DOA or serious concerns arise.

How it works
1
Breeder creates the passport
When a fish is ready to sell, the breeder logs in, fills in the species, health, water parameters and their verified identity. A unique passport ID is generated instantly.
2
Passport travels with the fish
A QR code is attached to the bag, box, or listing. Every handler in the chain can scan it to verify the fish's identity and update the custody record.
3
Buyer scans and claims
The new owner scans the QR, claims the fish, and instantly receives a personalised acclimation guide based on the origin water parameters. The chain of custody is complete.
