i've got a 30 gallon with a ugf running with a canister running as well. the canister filter is only on there to get established and then moved to a 55 gallon cichlid tank i am starting.
the canister has been running for weeks and i am within about a week from setting up the larger tank.
do i have to be worried for the fish in the smaller tank when i remove the canister?
the tank does have 1 marbled angel, 1 goldie, 1 double tail betta, 1 hillstream loach, 1 dwarf frog.
i know i'm mixing hot and cold fish (goldie is probably going in the pond with the others, such a pig) but i gave the smaller tank to my wife and thats what she wants in it. i have them all happy though.
when i move the canister filter to the bigger tank, can i go ahead and introduce a few fish. i had african cichlids in mind but i think i am going new world.
it is my first canister filter and i have never tried something like this.
