Hi,
Ready to move to our next home this Friday but yesterday I saw a bunch of grayish black 'worms' hanging out on the roof of an ornament temple. At first I thought they're, well, worms because I've never seen fries before, then I realized they're baby fishes. They're so tiny - 1/8 of an inch? And there' about 50 of them.
Now I don't know what to do when I move on Fri. Last time I moved, I got the fishes out in a bucket and transport it in my car, and siphoned almost all water from the 55g lightly planted tank and put it in the moving truck. It was only a 10-min drive. This time it's going to be close to 30-min.
I'd like to get the fishes and fries in a bucket like I did last time, but I don't think I'll be able to get the fries because they're all so tiny. If I leave them in the tank with enough water, will they survive? And if they do, and when I put the adults back in will they reunion as one happy family???
Thanks!
