Let the tied bag with air in it float in the new tank water for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperature and slowly add tank water in 20 minute intervals to the bag. Don't pour the bag water in the tank, it will add any contaminates already in the bag, use a fish net to make the transfer.

If you have a loaf of bread in a bag and leave it on a counter at room temperature until it grows mold and then put a clean loaf of bread in the same bag will the new one be infected faster?
Yes, because the fungus may have multiplied in the bag and has grown and will infect the new bread faster.

Can my betta go right in new tank?
First make sure if you put tap water in there you put water cleanser in there which can be bought at a pet store. Keep your betta in the bag and float it in the tank for 15 min. then without dumping the bag water in the tank use a net to move your betta to the tank.

Does it effect Betta fish if you change the fish from a regular tank to a filter tank?
Betta fish will not be harmed if they are in a filtered tank. If the new tank is about the same size as the old tank you should use the old water or most of it in the new tank. If the new tank is larger so you have to add lots of new water then you should fill the new tank with the new water and let it sit (preferably with the filter running) for two or three days before adding the fish. Also when you move the fish make sure the new tank is at the same temperature as the old tank.
How do you transfer a new Betta fish into a new tank?
Well, the key is to get the fish used to the environment in the aquarium you are adding it to. What I normally do is, (I buy the fish in bags of water) I put the bag with the fish in the tank and let it float there for about a half an hour to an hour to let the temperatures equalise., and then open the bag and let the fish in Another method is to put the fish into a bucket with the water that you bought it with, and then put in roughly an equal amount of water from the tank into the bucket, wait for about half an hour and then put the fish in
Does bettas move a lot?
Betta fishes like any other fish can get stressed by movements. In fact one of the most stressful experiences for a fish is travel from the pet store to a new house. So, depending on the length of the travel, yes, you might be able to take your betta fish. If its a short travel, make sure you double bag and bag again with a bubble wrap and cover it with something dark (so the fish doesn't get stressed by the outside). I don't recommend taking the betta on long distance or on flights. Hope I answered your question. Source: Owner of betta fishes
Will it hurt your betta fish if you don't wait 24 hours to put it in the tank?
The betta itself doesn't have to wait 24 hours, but the water in the tank needs to have had conditioner put in it to take out the chlorine and ammonia. When you want to put the fish in, float the bag it is in in the tank water for at least half an hour so they reach the same temperature. Then add a little of the tank water to the bag, so he gets used to the new water chemistry. Wait a while longer, and then you can release it into the tank. If the change in temperature and chemistry are too sudden, the fish will go into shock and possibly die.
What games can i play with my new betta fish in his 1 gallon tank?

Can Betta fish be overwhelmed by scenery?
With anything new to it's environment, a betta fish will be cautious of anything new to it's tank (this is because of their territorial traits). But depending on the betta, it will take a day or so for it to get used to the props/scenery. But don't be surprised if the betta stays clear of a certain area, he/she may not know if it is safe or not.
Can betta's live with a filter in there tank?

Can a serpae tetra live with a betta crowntail in a 8 gallon tank. tetra is being harassed in 36 ga tank with other new tetra fish?
No, don't risk it. Serpae tetras are fin-nippers and they'll constantly stress out your Betta. Especially in a small tank such as an 8 gallon, I would find something else to go with the serpaes. (:
Why would a betta fish you just bought sink to the bottom as if it is sick whenever you stand in front of the tank and look at it but if you look at it from far away it will swim normal?
Your new betta is nervous. Some fish, including the betta, are quite intelligent. The fish is simply scared at the moment. Give it a week or so to get used to its new environment and it will stop doing this. Our bettas were skittish when we first brought them home, but now they come to the sides of their tanks when we get near them. Our female betta, who is in a 20 gallon community tank in our bedroom, actually rubs against my hand when I am doing tank cleaning. Just be patient, and your bettas will adjust and will warm up to you.
You just got a male Betta fish yesterday It seems to just be staying on the bottom of the tank and not swimming around much Is something wrong?
When transferring a betta to a new home be sure to acclimate him SLOWLY to the new water by floating the temporary bag/cup in the new water to adjust the temp. Also, every ten minutes add some water from the new home to the old bag/cup so they Betta is not stressed over sudden changes in Ph or hardness. Treat tap water with chlorine/chloramine remover before adding the Betta to his new home. I like to feed newcomers about half an hour after transferring to a new home, just to make sure they "take" to their new water. Also, be selective when buying a fish from a pet store. Watch for signs of illness. Do not buy the fish if it looks sick or any other fish from that same batch look ill. If you do all this and the fish is still staying on the bottom, he just might be shy.
