The "plop and drop" method is a way to acclimate (or gradually adjust) a new fish to the water conditions in an aquarium. It involves introducing the fish to the aquarium in a controlled manner, to minimize stress on the fish and prevent it from getting shocked or sick from the sudden change in environment. Here's how to do it: Start by preparing a quarantine tank or a separate container for the new fish. This will allow you to acclimate the fish slowly and keep it isolated from the other fish in the main tank until it is ready to be introduced. Float the bag that the new fish came in on top of the water in the quarantine tank or container. This will allow the water in the bag to gradually warm up to the same temperature as the water in the tank. After about 20-30 minutes, open the bag and carefully pour the water from the bag into the quarantine tank or container. Be sure not to pour the fish out of the bag, as this can cause it to become stressed. After another 20-30 minutes, you can carefully "plop" the fish into the quarantine tank or container. Be sure to handle the fish gently, as rough handling can cause stress. Repeat this process every 20-30 minutes until the water in the bag is the same temperature as the water in the quarantine tank or container. At this point, you can release the fish into the main tank. Check out my other items I combine shipping
