I have a 40 gallon fish only tank and a 15 gallon planted tank.
Unfortunately the 15 gallon has to go As we are short on space. I have some nice plants growing in this tank that I don't want to get rid of.
I would like to combine the two tanks and get rid of the plastic rubbish in the 40 gallon tank. The 40 gallon is running for about 8 months and has a gravel substrate.
I guess my question is do I need to change the substrate in this tank and if so how can I do it without moving the fish and causing as little stress as possible.
The plants I have in the 15 gallon are
Amazon swords
Java fern
Anubis barteri
Some java moss
And these that I don't know the name of
I already have some java fern and moss in the 40 gallon tank
The 15 gal has a miracle gro substrate topple with gravel.
Could I pot the swords as put the pot into the 40 gallon or is there a way I can dirty part of the tank
Thanks
