What does it mean to acclimate a fish?
When you buy fish from a retailer - their water quality might be slightly different from yours. When you get the fish home, it's always best to gradually mix in some water from your own supply with that of the water in the bag the fish is sold in. Leaving it for a few minutes will acclimatise the fish to its new surroundings.

Can goldfish be transferred from ponds to indoor aquariums?
yes they can, so long as you acclimatise them to the tank. For starters, if possible, fill your tank with water from the pond, ( I know, it probably won't be the clearest, but your fish will thank you), and once your aquarium is up and running, match the temp of the tank as near as possible to the temp in the pond, (ie, don't try and throw them in your tropical tank, they will probably go belly up!). Bag the fish, and acclimatise them to the aquarium as you would with a store bought fish. To get rid of the bugs, dose the tank and the fish with malachite?(been awhile, can't remember the spelling) blue. Hope that is at all helpful
