I have 7 black mollies, 1 multi-goldie and 1 pleco in a 10 gallon TopFin beginner tank set with an upgraded AQ 30 gallon. I've been doing my pwc and vacuuming and the tank has been really stable and thriving.
It's a little crowded - the pleco is coming up on 4 inches now, so I ordered the SeaClear 30 gallon acrylic from PetsMart - the long, low one (36 x 12 x16).
What is the best way to start-up the bigger tank to provide a comfortable transition for the fish to the new tank? Should I take a little water from the old tank and put it in the new task each day? Steal gravel? Little castles?
I don't plan to increase the population - I'm going to do more plants.
Also, on the new tank, will I get enough circulation with an AQ 300? I do air pump but not power head on the 10 gallon. I understand the mollies don't like the water turbulent.
TIA
