Suplimentary to my large water change question ...
I'm planning to half drain my tank and then stir up a lot of sediment with some replanting and rescaping.
I could fill an old 25l tank to house some of my fish while I mess up the big tank - 3 Gouamis, 1 Rainbow, 2 Killis and up to 12 Neons, depending on how many I can catch. (I doubt I'd catch the Ottos or Amanos.)
Which is likely to cause more stress to the fish: rehousing them in a small tank for a few hours while i do the work, or leave them in the big tank?
