We have one leopard danio in our 12 gal tank that seems to be doing well in the high pH water. But I have another 5 gal tank that's been running (fishless) for 5 days. I'd like to move the danio to my new tank before the cichlids get him. The problem is, the big tank has a pH of like 8.2 and the new tank (using bottled water) has a pH of under 7. Is there ANY possible way I could move this fish without stressing him and/or killing him?? I was thinking if I had a third container I could move him (with water from the high pH tank) into it and slowly add distilled water to bring the pH down, but i don't have a third container. Surely moving him over would kill him immediately right? I do NOT want this to happen. Any suggestions?
P.S. I want to keep the smaller tank soft and slightly acidic because it's going to be stocked with neons.
Thanks all!
