Gymnogeophagus Movement Question

[nuth88]

Hey, I am moving my Gymmies from a 45 Breeder to a 55 standard (I find the extra height does wonders for the Valentines) and I am wondering, I have been working this tank for weeks, have it ready to go, cycle is being done with my Livebearers (WC Mont Swords) and the temp from the Gymmie tank was 70 yesterday, 71 this AM (no heater, home heat is off) and the new tank is at 67.3.... (I threw my Snails in there as well, hooked on right off!)

Dude, you just moved yours to the pond, is this too much of a jump for my Valentines, Paso Pache, and Male Balzanii? (Not to mention my Cold water corys, and my Dojo loach)

Anyone??

Oh BTW, just scored 4, 2" lil Australoheros red ceibal (From Aquaticlairity) to mix in.....

Can you move the water from the 45 to the 55 too? It may help...

How long ago did you move them from the pond? I would think you'd be fine cuz they are pretty hardy little fish

 

[nuth88]

They did great, added some cultured H2o, and they all took well!

The 55 is looking Primo!

They're pretty tough fish... keep an eye out for ich when moving them from warmer to colder. I use salt as a preventative...
