okay yea sounds easy enough and he does have some fish experience but i think he might have to go to work right after so ill see if he has time to do that. how long should i tell him to wait? i usually just wait til the water level doubles

Ya mybe let it drip 5 to to minutes if he can just fifteen 20 minutes would be best then nettem and toss em in

Lights off. Float the bag for a while 15-20 minutes so the temps get closer. Pull out bass put'em in the tank. Keep lights off. Don't mix waters.

The water in the bag is fine until you open it. Once you open it more oxygen get in there and creates an ammonia spike...that is what'll kill you fish. You can use products to neutralize that ammonia if you want, then you can acclimate your fish in a tub with an aerator by adding tank water slowly and eventually removing water as you add tank water and eventually pop'en your bass in the tank.

I've used both ways with cichlids. With my Kels i used the first method. They survived and are doing well.

I always drip. IMO, floating a bag is pointless. I'd be more concerned with the difference in PH than the difference in temp.

if your kelbs were fine then i might just go with that or just drip them like hulon said but the less work for my uncle would be best since hes already doing me a big favor of just waiting for them

Just have him float them in the tank. Then when you get home you can drip acclimate them. I have done this with all my fish I have acquired. Put em in bucket, and let that drip go. I would drip for atleast 30 mins.

I would have taken the day off

Just be sure there isnt a big temp drop. Also that you turn off the lights for probably the rest of the day in the tank. but I'd do pretty much as USMC says
