I have a cycled, horribly overstocked 12 gallon Eclipse and a brand new 36 gallon that I filled up today.
Into the new tank went dirty water from a 50% water change of the 12 gallon, the dirty filter from the 12 gallon (just floating in the 36), and a bunch of plastic plants from the 12 gallon.
The new tank has a substrate of Carib Sea Flora Max and Super naturals, 50/50%, a heater, and two filters. Oh, and I bought a new master test kit.
First question: Do I still need to buy Ammonia, or can I continue to add water from water changes on the 12 gallon?
Second question for after the tank is cycled: What order should I add the fish to the new tank.
I have (brace yourself):
Current 12-Gallon
1 Male Betta
7 Harlequin Raspbora
1 Neon
1 Cardinal
1 Dwarf bristlenose pleco female
2 Swartz cory
1 Bronze cory
5 Albino cory
3 Julii cory
1 Apple snail
23 Total
