Xenia can be tricky. Some people can not keep xenia alive at all. Other people can not trim it back fast enough. There usually is not a happy medium. Either it grows like a weed or it doesn't grow at all.
I've never kept the blue kind before but I have kept the pink xenia elongotta years ago when I kept mostly softies and it quickly overtook the tank growing at a phenomenal rate.
I try to keep my acclimation time between 15-30 minutes. I do not think it is beneficial to go any longer than that.
Good luck with your xenia. Xenia usually needs good flow, high PH, elevated nitrates and iodide supplements.
