need help,this isnt good is it?

[Nick660]

should i drain 50% of 90g tonight and replace with 240g water?
then tomorrow night do the same
then that night or next move him without aclimating?

This sounds about right to me.

Pillowcase idea sounds good too.

Good luck with the move

i dont see a garbage bag holding up to a pissed monster aro but thanks for tip.lol

The more times you can exchange water between the two tanks the closer they will become to having the same water. When removing the aro from the 90g lower the water down to about 7-8", less chance of your aro launching into outer space The pillow case may work, but getting him to swim into may be a problem. If you have help, getting him to swim over a towel and then picking up all four corners, to "sling" him in the towel has worked quite well for me.

thanks for the replies
might move the jag tonight
and move water from the 240g into the 90g
temps are almost the same now
i lowered the 90 and raised the 240

also
if i get the temps exact,do i still have to aclimate?
"this is before i move 240 water to the 90"
i will be aclimating the aro by moving water but was curious about the jag

Besides temp the only other real concern would be pH levels. If you are doing a water swap I would think you'd be fine.

but not doing w/c for jag
guess i could aclimate him,
but that was the question lol

 

[Bderick67]

put the jag in a 5 gallon bucket and acclimate him. You do frequaent W/Cs so your water params most likely are gonna be real close between the two tanks.

 

[midnight]

thats what i was curious about
so i guess i will aclimate the jag and do 240 water in the 90 once a day for 2 days and that will be the aros aclimation.
sound good?lol
thanks for the replies

You're on the right track.

update

looked back,almost to the day its been a month since i seen him eat.

just drained about 50% of the current tank and re filled it with water from the 240.
then put fresh water in the 240.
going to let him aclimate today and hopefully on x mas night he will be moved.

he freaked out during w/c and made me think,this will be fun when im moving him.

there just so cute at 4" but not so cute at 24"

also added a lil pbass to the 240 lol
