I have my tank finally cycled and ready to go. My question is how to acclimate them to the tank water? I have the 3 guys in different tubs right now and don't think the tubs will float to keep them in those to acclimate. What could I use to acclimate them?

Try adding small amounts if tank water at a time to their containers and leave them in the same room

They are in the same room. I think the water is pretty much the same temp just want to be safe. I was thinking I might get some fish bags from petsmart to add them to make things easier.

Get some airline tubing and start a siphon. Then tie and a knot in the airline tubing. Tighten the knot until there is a constant drip of water coming through the tube. Then just let the that water drip for about 15min - 30 min.
