So I recently started my fist tank. 30. Gallonafter cycling with food plants and a small amount of seed media(gravel). I got 6 assorted plat ties. 2 died with in 24hrs. Waited 1 week replaced them. Everything in the tank was great. Pond snails, assorted plants, fish doing really well rose swords diddn't even loose colour(was warned this was likely due to my small 30 watt bulb)
3 days ago I saw a small redish fry. Set up to save him! After filling a bowl with water and a bit of plants I couldn't find himm anymore. Thought he was a Conner for sure. So I left the bowl full anyways. While doing a water change I spotted and managed to catch him last nite. So I bought a tank I will set up tonite as a nursery/hospital.
The water in the mean time in the bowl got cloudy! Thinking plant decay but only a .2 ammonia. So should I switch him to the tank right away or leave him in the 1 gallon bowl for a couple of days till the new tank is cycled(planning on stealing more plants gravel and filter juice from the big tank) so the new tank is only 3 gallons but does have a light filter and air stone.
Also being a live bearer fry will he be okay with crushed flakes and crushed brine shrimp?
Thanks for any help
First post though I have read and learned quite a bit over the last month
