Evening all,
The time is nearly here for me to set up my new tank and I'll be planting it up on Saturday.
My plan is to get the hardscape and planting done, fill the tank then move the filter and fish from my old (current tank) down to the new one. It's the first time I've moved my fish so please excuse my ignorance, just have a few questions on the best way to do things.
Should I be saving some of my old water to put into the new tank or will filling it with fresh water be fine. Then acclimatising my fish to the new tank when moving.
Should I leave the new tank a while to settle in before moving the filter and fish. Maybe overnight?
What's the best way of catching corys and a very shy plec?
Thanks,
Richard
