You can probably just plop them in, but to be on the safe side. . . . take them over in a bucket with water barely above their fins. Drip in warm, aged (pH 9.4) water through an airline. Probably be a good idea to have air in the bucket too. Double the water in the bucket over an hour or so and then plop them in the new tank.
