If you know the PH of the water they are coming from I would try to match that. I have never been one for taking a long time to acclimate fish especially ones that have been in a bag for an extended period of time. Even with fish that have been properly prepared for transport will produce enough waste that toxic ammonia and CO2 levels can cause harm to the fish. If you have water that is close in chemistry and a little warmer I would put them right into new tanks. Make sure that these have lots of aeration or water movement.

I hope this helps.
