Answers:

OMG, don't leave it overnight! Open the bag and roll the top of the bag down about three turns. This makes a ring of air so the bag will float upright.

Put it in the tank and get a cup. Pour a cup of tank water into the bag once every 15 minutes for an hour. This will get your fish used to YOUR water slowly. A quick change will sometimes shock and/or kill new fish.

When the hour is up, net the fish out of the bag and put them in the tank. Never, ever, put pet store water into your home tank.

leeve in tank [bag and all] overnight then release

put water in tank float fish in water for about 20 min that gets them use to the water temp. then dump fish give a little food. they should be fine

Make sure to acclimate them to the water for around ten minutes by floating them in their bag, goldfish seem to be the dirtiest fish, so be careful to keep the tank clean, being such a small size (5 gallons) Also make sure the water is well-oxygenated.

Set the back inside the tack so the water can adjust to the temp in the tank. Then after an hour or two, open it so the fish come out. I'd also buy some "Ich Guard" and put in there too.

Youre gonna need to put the fish in water. dont take them out of the bag. they need to get used to the new temperature . then after you think both the water in the bag and in the tank are the same, release them.

Take them back to the store. Goldfish require 10 gallons PER baby/juvenile fancy goldfish(fantails, orandas, black moors ect), 20 gallons PER long bodied goldfish (comet, common, shubunkin)
