Also wondering how slow acclimation should be, the water is pH 4.2 and very soft, the fish will probably be in water 6.5. Not in blackwater, just mildly acidic, so I wonder how long to take acclimating them. I know water changes are done where they raise the pH and it only temporarily stresses the fish but since it would be a whole new environment I thought it might require a slow introduction. (And that is usually a raise in ph where this is lowering it, which is supposed to be worse for fish.)
