I'll soon be moving my fish from their current 29 gal tank to the new 75 gal tank I have and I'm wondering if they'll be ok with the new substrate they'll be introduced to. The tank they're in now is all gravel and the new 75 gal has PFS as the substrate. There won't be any problem with this... right? Also, how long should I wait to introduce new fish, and snails, once these are moved over? Is it even ok to move them all over at once? Thanks!
 
They will be just fine. Substrate change will be fine. I am sure they are looking forward to their new home.
 
They will be fine with the substrate change. You may want to bag up some of the old gravel in a mesh bag and putting it on the sand substrate to help seed the new tank.
