Congrats on your new BSJF. They really are amazing fish.
Just a tip. I have NEVER acclimated a fish over 30 minutes. I agree with Craig on this one. I figure the bag water is far from quality. I acclimated for temp. Once temp is adjusted, I pour in cup after cup of tank water. Then I add the little fish to the tank. IMO Drip acclimating a fish is very stressful. Plus it is difficult to keep the temp stable in a bucket or plastic container.
