If you’re not sure what to do with them, try placing them in a bowl of water and letting them swim around in it for a few minutes. This will help them get used to their new surroundings and will also help you get a better feel for how they react to your touch.
Once they’re comfortable in the water, you can begin to teach them to associate you with their favorite things. For example, if you put your hand in their bowl, they might start to play with it. You can use this same technique with other objects in your tank, such as toys, food, and water dishes.
