Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiLL Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 hey chuck 'Klinger' into a bucket or box with an air pump and add a container of water from your other tank every couple of minutes. think he/she should be quite happy doing it that way | w i L L | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tang Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks for the quick response. I tried that with one of my bala sharks but he didn't survive. I started with 2L of old tank water and put about half a glass of new tank water in every five - ten minutes until I had about 6L - it took over an hour. Maybe this is too long/short a time frame?? He was floating upside down two minutes after putting him into the new tank. The new tank has been cycling for two weeks with N. Brichardi's with no probs at all and I don't want to hurt any more fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
