Ya good idea, they won't be without a heater too long. Just the car ride and however long it takes to get the tank set up again. So all in all probably under 30 mins. And they definitely won't be left outside anyway. Too cold up here, -22 today haha Celsius. I doubt very much about the babies...

Yes, I was thinking that same thing. Going to treat it as a 50% water change. Thanks!

I want to leave at least 20% because I have baby cherry barbs that live in my Java moss haha and they are too tiny to net. 5 gallon buckets, check. How long does the water have before dropping significant temperature do you think?

I have a 55 gallon tank I have to move in March. I'm moving from a 4th floor apartment to a town home 10 mins away. Not a long distance.

Ya... That's an understatement lol all I envisioned was this Sid like character from toy story banging fish heads in lol many apologies... This is why I never pipe in haha learned my lesson

This whole post is disturbing. I don't usually voice my opinions when I have nothing nice to say but this is awful.

This is a great thread! I 100% agree, the big chain pet stores do not train their employees with every single ounce of knowledge. It takes years to learn what skilled hobbyist's know! Unfortunately not everyone new to the aquarium world knows to research before hand, they expect the employees to...

I believe mebbid needs water parameters :) although your stock is helpful for some cases, the water readings will be what's going to help members help you!!

Thanks for the reply! I wonder what makes it just appear one day

Just hoping to bump this up on the timeline... Anyone have any clue?

Wondering about a dark spot on my Betta's head. It is right above his left eye. It looks indented, but i am not sure. His right side is normal. Any ideas? Tank info: 55 live planted PH 7.2ish Amm 0 NI 0.1 NA 5-10 temp 79-80 Filter Tetra whisper 60 Just did a 50% water change this morning...

I agree with this. Angel needs to get to a comfortable environment so the damage that's been done can start to heal as soon as possible.

Glad I came across this!! Going to give it a try for sure :)
