ABSTRACT:
A device for introducing and acclimating marine inhabitants to a new environment is disclosed. The device, containing the new inhabitant and the water in which it was transported, is hung from an edge of the aquarium with a portion of the device submerged. A quantity of water from the aquarium, which has been poured into another portion of the device, is allowed to drain at a controlled rate into the portion containing the new inhabitant thereby gradually diluting the transportation water. When the transportation water has been fully diluted and its temperature has become equal to that of the water in the aquarium, the device may be opened to allow the inhabitant to swim out, with minimal shock to bodily systems.
