Aquarium Advice Addict
i'll be going on vacation in a few days, so im bringing fish from my 55 gal tank, over to someones house in a 20 gal tank, to take care of them, while im gone.
the problem is that the water from the 20 gal will be brand new, so if i just put in some used filter media into the filter would that be ok, without doing proper cycling?
i'd hate for the fish im bringing to not make it while im gone (im going to sound bad, but they're more of my favorites, {as well as being fish i wouldnt want to leave alone with just a auto feeder, as they might snack on some neons)
incase you're wondering, i'll be transporting:
1 small BGK
3 Moonlight Gouramis
4 Kissing Gouramis
i dont have a say in if they can just stay where they are...so please dont ask me to leave them
