My friend is moving and has decided she doesn't want her tank, no fun for her anymore, and she is going to have her hands full with regular human babies soon, less time for fish. She has offered it to me and I am picking it up tomorrow.
It is a regular 10 gallon glass, currently stocked with 1 angel and 1 pleco, I haven't seen this tank in a while so I am not sure how big they are, but they are both at least 2 years old, so decent sized. I am bringing them home for a while, until my other friends 50 is done cycling, then she is going to take the angel and pleco, and I will have a QT!
I only need to move them 30-40 blocks, not far. I was thinking I could siphon out 3/4 of the water, save most of it, put the almost empty tank on my front seat, drive home, place tank in prepared spot, replace water plug in, and I'm done.
It seems to me being moved in a half empty home without being netted and bagged would be less stressful than being netted, bagged moved and unbagged. Does this plan sound OK?
