Leaking tank leads to new aquarium

[jellyflesh]

So my 20 Gallon was leaking this morning and I decided why not get a larger tank? I moved the fish into my smaller tank just temporarily, I drained the tank below the leaking spot and all the water is in buckets, i got a new 36 gallon tank, if i put all the water back into the new tank and everything can i put the fish in immediately or do i still need to do the fishless cycle?

Add your old filter on to your new tank i did that when i upgraded my bettas tank and added his deco and substrate all went fine. Just keep an eye on your paras. Good luck

It should be fine, just make sure the filter is rated for a tank that's size

I put both the old and new filter on the tank, so that the new one can get settled, but the old one's bacteria goes into the tank, sadly a few fish did not survive the move but hopefully my favorites will! Any tips or tricks?

Make sure you acclimate the fish completely

Acclimate slowly and leave that old filter for a while just to be safe. Test that water frequently!
