Ow can I move my fish to my new tank? I'm upgrading from a 10 gallon to a 29 gallon. Move the water over? Then the fish?
adeebm said:Since both tanks are using the same tap water, you don't really need to acclimate, just match temps. You can move the substrate and filter over, then the fish and 10g of water. Then fill it up to the top with dechlorinated water. Not much different from doing a 70% water change, except you're disturbing the substrate. Make sure you move the existing filter over, even if you bought another one. You can run both filters for a while until the new one cycles, but you need to keep the old filter running or re-cycle like librarygirl said.
