Advice on how many fish I introduce from tank to tank #1
Hi all.
I am currently transferring my fish from old tank to new. I have the following:
3 Cory's
1 cherry barb
1 guppies
2 penguin tetras
1 Ram
3 Tiger snails
2 horned snails
1 shrimp

The question is, I am thinking of adding 3 or so every 3 days. Is this a sensible plan. If you have any other suggestions or comments please share with me here.

Kind regards
Martyn

As long as you also move the filter (or move the media from old filter to new) you can move all of the stock at once.

Sorry, I forgot to say the new tank is completley cycled, using the fishless cycle.
0 Ammonia
0 Nitrite
20 Nitrate.

If you cycled to 3ppm or higher you can move them all together
