Whats the best way to move my fish from a 5 gallon tank and into 10 gallon tank2007-11-24 23:43:30

These two ways may seem time consuming, but if you care for the health and well-being of your fish, they are the best options. There are quicker ways, but not as safe for your fish. They need a gradual introduction to new water.

All of the above procedures are for freshwater fish, not saltwater.

I had a freshwater tetra tank for years and with those fish, it is as simple as taking them in the net and moving them right away.

If you have some fish that are agressive with smaller, put them in the tank last of all, so they see the new pecking order.

Remember too, one fish per gallon of water is the healthy rule of thumb. I sometimes count neons and other tiny fish as 2 for one.

Have fun!

Leave room for most of the 5 gallon tank water in the new tank. Just make sure the water is similar temp, & just scoop them out, before the water transfer, move most of the water into the bigger tank & lower them slowly, letting the water from their scoop mix very slowly. Even though you are cycling the water, it is still clean, & you have to mix some of theirs into it to help them.

Well, if both tanks have the exact same chemistry and temperature than you can move them with a net and be done in just a few minutes (assuming the fish cooperate).
