I already have an established planted 55g running 2 c4 fluval filters rated for 70g. It houses 6 black mollies, 9 albino Cory cats, 10 bloodfin tetras and 9 cherry barbs. I plan on starting another planted 55 that I plan on putting 15-20 serpae tetras 8 peppered corys and 1 bristletoe nose pleco. My plan is to transfer 1 of the filters from the established tank to the new one and a couple of the plants. Will the filter have enough beneficial bacteria to give me an instant cycle where I can put all the new fish in at once? Or should I still stock slowly? The filter has filter pad/ polyfiber/ and biological media inside.
