Acclimation Procedure's?

[Kabong]

After my recent introduction of BBG's in to my tank i had some feeding problems, And recieved some advice that i may have acclimated them to quickly. So i took a quick look on the web and found this Acclimation Faq It for marine but i presume that's the way to go whe nit comes to brack, However it contracdicts itself, So im not to sure of it.

Does anyone have a good FAQ or something? Or even you could go over your own procedure's, Any help whould be great.

For #1, you would put the fish in a bucket in the water it came from (enough to cover it's head). Tie a knot in a airhose & syphon water fron the new tank you will be transferring the fish to. Make it drip slow enough to raise the SG in the bucket no faster than .002/hour. As far as #2 & 3, you can acclimate the same as any other fish by floating the bag & every 10 minutes, add about 1/2 cup of tank water into the bag. Do this for 1/2-1 hour. Pour the water/fish thru the net, don't ever put the bag's water into your tank.
