Transferring and moving fish to different tanks?
I currently have a 10g tank. In it are 2 australian rainbow fish,4 corydoras, and 1 otocinclus. In 4-8 weeks I am going to add fish into a 15g aquarium((tank is being cycled)). How do these set-ups sound?
For the 10g I am going to put in 4 guppies, 3 platies, and 2 golden zebra danios. (all males) I am also adding 2 more otos to the current 1 in the tank.
For the 15g I am going to put in my rainbows and corydoras with the addition of 3 otocinclus.
***Sound good or am I overcrowding my tanks?Anything you think I should add?***
It all sounds pretty good except for those Australian rainbows – they're schoolers, they get to a pretty good size, and really need a much bigger tank to grow into. You should really replace them with a smaller and more suitable tetra or rasbora type fish, that way you can keep a proper school of them and they won't outgrow the tank. Danio's are pretty fast swimmers for such small tanks too, but at least they stay small.
How can I clean and old aquarium tank that has hard water build up?
take alot of water out of old tank and add to new tank to keep ph leval close. fish will do better that way
