Is it safe to transfer a goldfish and pleco tank to tank (no buckets, bags, or drips), if test numbers are identical and temperature are within a single
Degree of each other?
Zero transfer of old water, fully cycled @4weeks
api test kit used
2analog thermometers and Braun thermometer set to water surface temp read (can be used/sold primarily to check humans for fever but had water and land surface settings)
only transferring one fish at a time so we can’t take all that old water
If Not safe:
How do I keep the goldfish safe as has had frequent chronic problems & seems very sensitive to dissolved oxygen levels -bound to be rock bottom in anrubbermaid EVEN WITH an air stone?
How do I do a slow drip method without taking much of the ‘old’ water? (How much to start Witt, how much to end with?
Best way to pickup &avoid hurting a pleco? He sticks to his cave so if we go tank to tank we can just pick the whole cave up and move it. Once in the bucket though he will let go and need to be picked up..,
