Hi all. I've come to rely on your expertise and experience and would like a little help here.
I've got to the point where I want to move some fish out of my 65 and into the 29 which is done cycling. I'd like to move my rams and my synodontis, leaving just the discus, clown loaches and plecos in the 65. I'd like to move some plants now, too, as I've finally got (in my head) where I want everything.
I've tried catching the rams - no easy task given the plants and driftwood. So I was thinking of pulling the wood, then catching the guys I want moved, then putting everything back in. But what concerns me is stressing everyone out.
When ya'all get to doing a major renovation, do you just do that? I mean, just move everything? Or do you pull out a bunch of the fish for a temp solution or what?
Am I worried too much about the stress? I was thinking it would probably take an hour, tops. Should I just go ahead, then let everyone calm down?
TIA!
