I will put them in a small black bucket like some seachem stuff is packed in this is to allow them to clam down. I let them set there for 1/2 or so then I simply take my hand and easy like slide it up under the fish and they all always just lay quiet and almost go limp I then with fish in my palm easily lay them into the tanks water.. Then they will slowly swim off and they stay calm and not dive right for the rocks.. They will swim about and just blend in.. Thats is how I acclimate LOL I never worry about the temps as they are very close room 75 tank 78 I think its the lack of stress and clam way I put them into the water makes more of a difference. I even Have the Boss here doing it that way now (:
