If you are going to add water to a fish bag, it's always a good idea to
add an ammonia neutralizer. That way you don't raise the pH and trigger
ammonia toxicity.

My bagged fish get transferred to a covered bowl or bucket with a couple
drops of AmQuel, and then I drip in water until the fish is in about 3/4
Q-tank water. Finally, I net the fish out of the container so that I
don't add store water to the Q-tank.
