I used the drip method to acclimate my as yet unnamed betta fish to his new, 12 gallon tank. It’s filled a little low so more like 10 gallons, to make a shorter distance for him to the top for air.
I put cardboard on the top and packing foam around the base to keep the water temperature from cooling too fast. The drip can take 2 hours and the tank water is about 80 degrees. No way could that little holding tank hold that temp on its own.
