Moved my Tems into their new tank.

[Ramesh]

I finally moved my 6 remaining Temensis into their new tank which I also made the stand for (6x2x2).
I moved them in late last night and thought I was going to loose the little runt Tem.
I don't have much luck moving these fish as the go absolutely crazy bashing and crashing into each other and their tank.
I lost a large Tem last time that must have seriuosly injuried itself while moving.
The little guy had trouble staying upright and was stuck to the canister intake when I left them for the night and was 50/50; Stiff but respiring.
I had pre dosed the new tank with salt, Melafix, turned the temp up and woke to good news as they all had pulled through.

I decided to moved them when I noticed one of them had a very cloudy white eye which I hope will recover with salt and Melafix.

P.S They are still a little skittish but they ate their bio gold this morning and I am very happy the little guy looks like pulling through .

Sorry about the poor pics, they were taken in the early morning (7am) as I rushed to work.
I am excited about this new tank as the Tems beauty can be better appreciated and they should grow faster as well.
Here are two videos, sorry the light isn't great (early morning) and I am trying to not spook them.

Next time you move them drain atleast half the water from the tank and pull all the decor. If you can its best to have the tank dark(no light on). NIce tems and tank. Can we get a full tank shot?

They can be quite hard to get in Australia so I really want to grow these guys out.
