i have had a 10 gallon tank for over five years now(this tank was also my childhood tank from over twenty years ago) and the fish are also five years in the tank. it only has a small catfish(two inches) and pleco(five inches) in it, but it is time to move to a bigger tank. i have a twenty gallon tank that i should get sunday or monday.
my question is this: can i transfer the gravel and water and filter media to the new tank and skip the cycle, or should i set up the new tank and cycle it, then transfer the fish, and dismantle the ten gallon?
thank you for your time and advice.
