Hello, I am new to this site. I have a twenty six gallon bow front with 6 gold tetras and 8 bloodfin tetras. I took over this tank from someone else and I really like it. However, the blue gravel just really annoys me and I would really prefer to change it to a more natural color such as brown or black. Anyways, if I'm going to it, how can I do it all in one day and not go through a mini cycle?
I planned to take all the fish and decor out and put them in a bucket to keep the good bacteria on those things. Then i would change the gravel and put the decor and the fish back in. I would like to keep the fish out of the tank as least as possible. Is there any thing else I should know to avoid another cycle?
Thanks in advance
