How long to let the fish stay in the bag?

[sweetheart]

I just got a small true percula clown and some snails, and they have been floating for about an hour. How long do they need to stay in the bag? I also have two damsel fish in my 29 gallon that has been in there for about 3 weeks. So I moved the rocks around so they won't be too territorial.

I acclimated my clowns for about 3 hours ...I watched a movie.

Oh, Well do you think I can go ahead and let the clownfish out?

ive never acclimated a fish for over an hour

Float for a half an hour and dip every 10 minutes for a half an hour and out they come unless the fish is very sensitive and fragile

Why even rush it? Better safe then sorry. I dripped acclimatized my first saltwater fish I had. They went in with really bright colors and were fine from the get go.
Take it slow, do things right.
