I very much prefer to use the drip method for every fish I purchase. The only thing I vary is how much time I spend on the process; ie., very slow drips vs., faster interval of drips. I use slower drips and longer time when introducing fish into my tank w/ CO2 injection, or with known finicky fish.

To give any advice on which fish it would help to know your tank specs. Size, Gh & Kh, other tank mates?
