I have my 20 gallon long tank all set up and up to temperature. I want to transfer my 4 juvenile cichlids and bristlenose pleco to it but I want to do it the best way possible for the well being of my fish. I have to do a fish in cycle on the new tank because I really need to get them out of the old 15 gallon, which has a slow leak. That said, I will be moving the filter from the old tank to help with the cycling process. All the decor will be moved as well. The substrate is the only thing that I will not be moving because I found some rocky gravel that I like better. Can anyone please help me do this in the safest way possible? I do not want to lose any fish in the process.
I know the 20 gallon is NOT large enough for these 4 cichlids as they grow but only 2 of them will inevitably remain there. My 2 kenyi's will be going to a friend that can better care for them in a few months when he returns home from college. This will just leave my 2 electric yellow labs and pleco.
